Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms
Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness
Using a large egg-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies from the rolled dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden
