About


options: use sugar in the raw to roll the cookie balls in for more flavor
or add cinnamon with the sugar.  Drizzle on a little melted chocolate, white or dark.
After the cookies are sugared and before baking, they can be placed on a flat pan/dish and placed into the freezer.  When frozen place into freezer bags or containers for later use.  These are good to send back to school with your college bound child or gift to the cooking novice.
