Instructions
Prepare cookie dough:

Bake Cookies:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
- Scoop dough out using the smallest cookie scooper. Roll cookie dough into balls. Roll them in granulated sugar, and place onto greased cookie sheet, 3” apart.
- When 2 cookie sheets are filled with the balls, sprinkle each with 2 or 3 drops of water. I just use a cup of water, and dip my fingers in and flick the water over the entire tray of cookies.
- Bake cookies 10-12 minutes, turning and switching shelves half way through. You want cookies to be firm, but not hard.
- Remove cookies from oven, and allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then remove from pan and place on wire racks to cool completely.
- Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool dry place.
