  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon.
  • Once cookies have been chilled, remove from the fridge and begin scooping cookies using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon (this makes sure they are all the same size). Roll each ball until smooth in your hands.
  • Roll each cookie dough ball through sugar and cinnamon mixture until completely coated and place on prepared baking sheet 1 1/2 inches- 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies may seem very soft at this point. Take them out anyways, they will not get golden brown, they will set as you allow the to cool.
  • Let cookies cool on baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a plate or cooling rack.
