- Remove the whisk.
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix with a spoon or spatula until well combined, but be sure not to over-mix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop a 2-3 heaping tablespoons of cookie dough at a time and roll into balls, then roll the balls in sugar & spice mix to coat.
- Place onto a large baking sheet about 2 inches apart. No more than 6-8 cookies at a time.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to set and the centers are still puffy and soft and seem underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to fully cool on the baking sheet to set the cookies.
- Enjoy!
Notes
**Check your cookies around the 10 minute mark to make sure you don’t underbake
**If you don't have a stand or hand mixer, follow the same instructions using a whisk, spoon or spatula and 2 mixing bowls.
