- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix ingredients in the order listed. Stir well to form a sticky dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop dough by the spoonful onto the baking sheet and gently flatten with a fork.
- Bake for 12–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
