- Mix all the dry ingredients together in your cake mixer
- Add the butter and mix until small crumbs start forming
- Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes
- Let it cool then use half of the crumbs in the chocolate cookie recipe and keep the rest for up to a month in your freezer (Note: Only use half of this recipe for the cookies)
Notes
1 – I put half the amount of salt in and you could still taste the salt in the cookies. The full amount would have been too much for my taste.
2 – It is easy to over-bake these cookies so be careful!
3 – I got a lot more than 10 to 15 cookies using this recipe and they were all very large in size. Good thing cookie-loving friends are never hard to find!
