Step 1

Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat.

Step 2

Make Dough: Combine all ingredients using hands or sturdy spoon in medium mixing bowl until dough forms. The mixture will initially be crumbly, but will eventually become cohesive (Note 3). For flavor add-ins, see Note 4.

Step 3

Form Cookies: Use dough to make ten 1-inch balls, placing them on lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart from each other. Flatten each ball using fork, then rotate 90 degrees and flatten again, forming criss-cross pattern (Note 5).

Step 4

Bake & Serve: Bake at 350 F until cookies are golden around edges, about 10 minutes (Note 6). They will be very soft coming out of oven; cool completely before removing from baking sheet. Then serve (Note or store leftovers (Note 8).
