Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the cookies.

- Form cookie dough: Use a spoon to drop portions of the dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or serving.
Notes
- To keep the cookies vegan, ensure that the brown sugar is certified vegan if preferred.

- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For crispier cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to burn.
