  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.

  • Carefully roll the dough rectangle around the logs, forming a large log. Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the dough firm up, preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
