  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Baking
  1. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve these delicious cookies warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or coffee. You can dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
