- 5. Roll dough into small balls (I use a small cookie scoop).
- 6. Roll in white sugar.
- 7. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper that's been lightly greased. Keep cookies about 2 inches apart. Alternatively, you can use a Sil-Pat mat, if you have old cookie sheets.

- 10. Then slide the parchment paper or move cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely. Keep in an airtight container for about a week (if they last that long).
