Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  4. Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup (or honey/agave), and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, with a few lumps remaining.
  6. Step 6: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until edges are firm.
  8. Step 8: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
