Spent 2 hours trying to fix a simple cookie recipe that kept spreading flat

Turns out my butter was too soft from sitting out all day in the summer heat. Took me three failed batches to figure out it was 85 degrees in my kitchen. Has anyone else had a simple ingredient temp problem ruin a whole afternoon?

Had a friend lose a whole batch of brownies because her eggs were fridge-cold.

Ain't that the truth, nothing worse than thinking you nailed it and then poof flat cookies. Have to agree with @nancy_ross, cold ingredients can mess up a batch just as bad as warm ones.
