*Directions:
Step 1
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), then combine the first 6 ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2nd step
After combining the first 6 ingredients, continue adding the remaining ingredients to the mixture, mixing well until all the ingredients are well blended.
Step 3
Shape the dough into balls and press them with sugar or a fork dipped in flour.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet with the cookie dough in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. Watch them and take them out of the oven when they become lightly browned.
Fifth step
Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up a bit before transfer them to cooling rack. Then let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
