Step 1

1
Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie ingredients until very soft dough forms (dough will be sticky).

On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough with 1 tablespoon-size cookie scoop or by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.

3
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
