   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

5. 5

   Use a spoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 5cm of space between each cookie.

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
