Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Form Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and flatten slightly onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
