  • CINNAMON SUGAR: In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and scoop into 1 ½ tablespoon-size portions. Roll into a ball between your palms. Roll in cinnamon sugar until completely coated.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Using the bottom of a glass press the dough balls to flatten slightly. Bake for 10-13 minutes. Cookies will be soft in the center and continue baking as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you want bigger cookies simply double the size of your dough balls and cook 6 to a baking sheet.
