Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine the 0.25 cup of additional granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon.
Step 7
Roll the dough into balls, approximately 1.5 tablespoons each, and then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.

Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
