I have used Crisco for over 30 years and have become known for having the best chocolate chip cookies in the area. Lately my cookies go flat while baking and are not as tasty. Is this because of the changes in the Crisco? And now what can I do to get my old results back?

The cookies may have gone flat because of the soda or baking powder. If it was old, they wont rise. If you didnt add those ingredients you may have used plain flour instead of self-rising.

If you use butter, that's why. Shortening helps to keep cookies raised up more, not flatten them. Or maybe you beat them too hard or too long.
