- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and powdered milk.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones until well-combined.
- Scoop out spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Cookies will not spread much, so you don’t need to leave a lot of room between them.

- Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
