  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
