  • Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  • Roll ¼ cup of dough into a ball. Pull the ball in half and then rotate upwards 90-degrees so the craggy tops are facing upright. Join the halves together at the base to form back into a single ball (being very careful not to smooth the craggy top). See picture.
  • Place dough balls onto baking sheets 2 ½ inches apart.
  • Bake at 325 for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center of the cookies should look a little underdone.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheets.
