- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
