In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together very well. TIP: If you adding an egg to this recipe, add the egg to the bowl first, whisk it with the vanilla very well for a few seconds, and then mix in the remaining ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon until homogeneous. This will prevent your cookies from tasting eggy!

The mixture will be sticky! Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookie mixture onto the lined baking sheet, making sure to keep each about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten their tops with the palm of your hand.

Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let the cookies cool for at least 10 minutes: otherwise, they will fall apart. Gently remove them with a metal spatula and enjoy!
