5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until completely combined.
   
   
6. Cover dough with clear wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

1. Roll dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and roll in sugar to coat completely.
   
   
2. Place at least 2” apart on prepared cookie sheet and bake for 10-11 minutes.
   
   
3. The cookies should look baked but have slightly under-done centers.

Notes:
Let them cool completely on the baking sheet to finish cooking. This will make them very soft!
