Thoroughly combine remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Chill dough.. By hand roll dough into approximate 1¼ inch diameter balls. Roll balls in sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Space balls approximately 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies start to form cracks. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Cookies will continue to cook and form cracks. Remove cookies from cookie sheet and allow to cool completely. Do not over bake cookies. Finished cookies should be slightly crisp on the outside but chewy and moist on the inside. |
