05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in optional additions if desired.
06 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

08 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

01 - Use room temperature butter and egg for a smooth dough.
02 - Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking for thicker, puffier bites.
03 - Store in an airtight container to maintain softness.
