- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined.
- Scoop the dough using a 1 oz or 1 tablespoon scoop.
- Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar and then coat in powdered sugar.
- Place the dough balls on the lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until tops are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
