Notes
Nutritional values may differ and are meant to be a guide.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days. Ensure they are completely cool before storing so the powdered sugar doesn't "sweat" or disappear.
- Freezing: Freeze the dough balls (before rolling in sugar) on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, thaw for 30 minutes, roll in sugar, and bake as directed.
- Add-ins: You can add ½ cup of white chocolate chips, though this will create a denser "pudding-style" cookie and reduce the classic crinkle effect.
