Preheat oven to 350°F.

Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix using an electric hand mixer until well combined. The mixture will be very sticky.

Fold in the chocolate chips (if using).

Using a small cookie scoop, place the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Wet your fingers and use them to flatten the cookie if needed. Repeat until the dough is done.

Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.

Store in an air-tight container on the counter for 3-4 days.
