Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

5. Mix Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the softness of the cookies.
6. Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form balls of dough, about 2 tablespoons each. Roll the dough balls in coarse sparkling sugar to guarantee a beautiful exterior.
7. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but soft.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an extra festive touch, dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
