STEP 2: Knead the wet ingredients into the dry till fully combined. Knead a smooth dough, cover and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

STEP 3: Preheat oven to 175°C. Take the dough from the fridge, make small balls and shape them into cookies. Optionally, press some chocolate chips into the cookies before baking (don’t mix with the dough or the cookies may not hold together).
