- Pour wet ingredients into bowl of dry ingredients and mix with large spoon or sturdy spatula until well combined.
- Using medium cookie scoop or 1/4 cup, scoop dough into ball then shape into flat circle with hands, about 1/2″ thick; place evenly on baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
