In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
