Cookie SOS!

Help! Not my first cookies but nothing is right anymore. I want cakey, thick ones.
These spread like all my cookies have for months! Raw middles and burnt edges. I have tried multiple recipes and types of cookie. I used to bake as a side job so I’m rather heartbroken 😔

For this one:

Found a TikTok recipe for thick cookies and had Chat convert to grams. Measured precisely with scale. Used room temp butter and creamed with sugars to fluffy. Sam’s Club butter (newer possible cause, and Sam’s sugars and flour)
Just purchased new soda and powder in case that was issue. Added cornstarch and salt that was missing.
Using my farm eggs but come in at 49-52 grams each.
Mix until can’t see flour but not overbeating. Add chips and fold.
Chilled dough overnight. Did tall rough dough balls
Oven temp is spot on with my thermometer at 375 per recipe
Baked 9 and checked and went to 10.
Using a Nordic ware quarter sheet I’ve always used for years and unbleached parchment (newer thing). Quit using silpat because I thought that was the issue maybe.

It is not just this recipe. It is all cookies I have tried to make from many recipe lately. I’m out of ideas to troubleshoot.
