Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 170C (350F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Gradually, while constantly whisking add the flour to the liquid mixture and mix until dough is formed. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Shape the dough into small balls and arrange them on prepared baking tray. Slightly flatten the balls.
Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until lightly golden on the bottom. Do not over bake.
