Preparation

Developing the Base

The Mix
- With the motor set on low speed, add half of the flour and half of the liquid.

Portioning & Bake
- Use a 2-inch ice cream scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheets.
- Bake until the cookies just begin to brown on the edges, about 15 minutes. The cookies will be domed and cake-like. Cool the cookies on racks.
The Finishing Glaze
