3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to bring the dough together, ensuring all the ingredients are well incorporated. Once the dough is mixed, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. For optimal results, refrigerate for 24 hours if possible.

4. When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 329°F and line two cookie baking tray with parchment paper.
