Preparation

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

Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look soft.
  3. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. They also make excellent gifts, packed nicely in a treat box or jar. To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze them for up to three months, separating layers with parchment paper.
