The great thing about this cookie dough is that it only requires five ingredients and that’s including the vanilla extract and salt. It also takes less than 10 minutes to mix together and it doesn’t require any dough chilling.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is mix up the cookie dough, scoop it out, roll it into balls, flatten them, and bake your cookies. You could even add a simple glaze on top to really add a little something extra to these cookies!<\/p>\n
