- At this point, the dough will seem quite sticky! Place into an airtight container let it rest in the fridge for an hour or so until firm and chilled.
- Before getting ready to scoop each cookie, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare your baking tray with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, roll your chilled dough into small balls. Place the cinnamon sugar into a small bowl, and one by one, coat each cookie completely in sugar.Cinnamon Sugar: 4 Parts Granulated Sugar, 1 Part Cinnamon
- Place your preferred number of cookies onto a baking sheet and bake for about 11 minutes. Remove from the oven once you start to see some slight cracks on top and let cookies sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- If you don’t end up baking off all your cookies at once, place your scooped and sugar-coated extras in a ziplock bag and throw them into the freezer. Bake them fresh as desired!
