  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes until puffed with set edges.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
