They will stick to your tray if you don\u2019t, not good eats, a big mess. No one has time for all that cleaning.<br \/>\nCombine all three ingredients together mixing until you have a smooth dough-like consistency.<br \/>\nTake a scoop of it and form a small ball. Flatten it out onto the tray.<br \/>\nGet fancy and make crisscrosses with a fork\u2019s tines. Place the cookies at least an inch apart.<\/p>\n<p>When your tray is full and your oven is ready, pop these into the oven for about 7 minutes. Be careful not to overbake and adjust your timing based on your oven. They should be a light golden brown. You want these to be chewy.<br \/>\nWhen you take them from the oven, let them cool on the tray for about 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack. I usually just pick up the parchment and set it on the rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p>Your patience will be reward with chewy yummy goodness.<\/p>\n<p>Frederica is quite the hostess and loves to make sure her guest has the right treats.
