...chy rather than chewy. They also don't flatten like regular cookies. I've rested the dough each time but could I maybe have not done it long enough? Any other suggestions would be great

Thanks Kristen M.!!! This answers my question also! They came out great tasting but they did not spread when baking.

Have you looked at the rather extensive comments section  on the recipe?   People seem to have had a lot of adventures with this.  My only practical suggestion would be to weigh the flour if possible; the actual quantity can vary a lot if measuring by volume.

Hi Jae, I would say that you should try baking the cookies for less time next time—since they'll keep cooking out of the oven, don't wait till they're firm or as brown as the photo (which by the way, was due to an especially dark vegan brown sugar, which I will add a note about!). They'll flatten more if you let them come down to room temp instead of baking straight out of the fridge, too.
