METHOD
Mix it up. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, then stir in wet to form a dough – it will be dry at first, so keep stirring until cookie-dough texture is achieved. If needed, add 1 – 2 tablespoons extra milk of choice.
Chill. Form into one big ball, then either refrigerate at least 2 hours or freeze until the dough is cold.
Preheat. Set the oven to 325°F.
Shape. Form dough balls, and place on a greased baking tray, leaving enough room between cookies for them to spread. Bake 11 minutes on the centre rack.
Find something to distract you from eating them straight out of the oven! They’ll look underdone when you take them out. Let them cool on the baking tray 10 minutes before touching, during which time they will firm up. If for whatever reason the cookies don’t spread enough, just press down with a spoon after baking. You can also choose to make extra cookie dough balls and freeze them to bake at a later date.
Notes from Sam: I like to make double batches of these cookies and roll half the dough into a log and freeze for another day.
Grease the pan or use a re-usable silicone mat instead of parchment paper.Get your dry ingredients from a bulk store or bulk section of your supermarket and use your own jars and bags. Check out some of the stores in the Sea to Sky and Vancouver here.

To freeze the extra cookie dough I make, I re-use the plastic bags my loose leaf greens come in as part of my CSA boxes in the summer, rather than buying freezer bags new.
