Make the Dough:

- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape the Cookies:

- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake:
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
