- Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Shape the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 8-12 minutes, or until they are set and the tops have cracked.
