Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients, stirring to combine (be sure to break up any lumps in the flour and/or sugar).

Step 3

Shape dough into twelve 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls (I use my small cookie scoop). Space balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Flatten halfway (e.g., with a fork, I chose a fork, cookie stamp, the flat bottom of a measuring cup, or fingertips).

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until golden (the cookies will seem somewhat soft while hot; they will firm up as they cool).

Step 5

Remove from oven and cool on sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
