- Fold together gently: combine wet and dry mixtures until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Chill the dough: refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare baking sheets.

Chilling the dough enhances flavors and texture; overnight chill recommended for best results.
Store cookies tightly covered at room temperature for up to one week.
