  6. Gradually add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Cover dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Roll dough into 1.5 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with Fleur de Sel.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are firm and centers are slightly soft.
