Recipe

Preparation Time: 13 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 23 mins


• preheat the oven to 400 degrees f. lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.
• mix all the ingredients, by hand or mixer, until a well-blended, cohesive dough forms; this will take about 2 minutes at medium-low speed in a stand mixer.
• drop the cookie dough by teaspoonfuls the prepared baking sheet (a teaspoon cookie scoop works well here), leaving 1 inch between them; these cookies won't spread much when they bake.
• use a fork to flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch thick, making a cross-hatch design.
• bake the cookies for 8 to 12 minutes, until just browned on the bottom. allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
