Notes
This dough will be quite mucky and seem a bit difficult to "flatten" before baking. Don't sweat it. Just use your fingers and the back of the spoon to flatten the dough down a bit before putting in the oven.
Be sure to leave ample space between cookies as they spread and flatten while baking. 4 rows of 3 on a baking sheet works well.
