The soft cinnamon flavor of these all-time favorite cookies are so yummy!
The trick is rolling the balls in cinnamon sugar after you have refrigerated them for 30 minutes.
I say, prepare your dough and pop them in the fridge. Then right before dessert, roll them in the sugar, bake and you have straight out of the oven goodness.
