I am no cookie expert so I consulted my cookie pro (my wife! )
She says to either add more butter or reduce the flour. She also said that on the Quaker Oats carton there is a good recipe.
Good luck!

Also bake at the minimum time and depending on your oven, even less time if necessary. As soon as the bottom and lower edge turns golden, take it out.
Don't pack the flour tight. Either spoon it in the measuring cup or scoop it out, then just scrape off the excess flour on top without pressing down.
