    Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add dry mixture into wet mixture and stir together. (Note: this dough will be crumbly)

    Preheat oven to 375°. Scoop 2 tsp of dough and gently shape into a disk. Place on a cookie sheet, leaving a minimum of one inch between each cookie.

    Bake for 7-9 minutes until very pale golden brown. This will produce a lovely, light cookie that holds togther perfectly.

Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack for additional cooling. Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.
