Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies be chewy, soft, and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Roll the dough into balls: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the dough into balls. Make sure the balls are evenly sized so that they bake evenly.
  • Coat the dough balls in cinnamon sugar: This will give the cookies a delicious, crunchy coating.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack: This will help the cookies set and prevent them from becoming soggy.
