To prepare, you will typically combine the contents of the mix with softened butter or oil, eggs, and a small amount of water or milk. Stir these wet ingredients into the dry mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
