5. Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
