  6. Slowly start to add the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until well combined.
  7. Once the dough is well combined, fold in the puffed rice.
  8. Spoon the cookie dough, about a 1 1/2 to 2 inch ball, onto the lined baking sheets.
  9. Flatten the cookies with your hand or a bottom of a glass, to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  10. Once you have the baking sheets full, place them into the oven.
