  1. I have this same recipe from a blog I found only they are not SUPER SIZED. I was just coming on here to post it because they are very good!! I posted a picture of mine, but again they aren't super sized. I only used between 1-2 tablespoons of dough rolled and then rolled it in sugar. I didn't use the cinnamon in my sugar mixture; although I may next time because that sounds good!! A great easy cookie to make. Just make sure you don't overbake them. Take them out AS SOON as they start looking done. If you wait, they'll end up hard. Mine took about 9 min to bake. Thanks for the recipe it's delic!!
