Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with SILPAT or parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
  3. With the help of a small cookie scoop (dough will be sticky), roll dough into approximately 1 inch balls. Roll dough balls in granulated sugar until evenly coated, then place on baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. The cookies will feel slightly underdone. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet to help firm them up or remove them to a cooling rack for extra soft cookies.
