Add the dry

plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or in the freezer for 30
minutes.
Roll heaping teaspoons of the dough into balls. Dip one
side fo each ball into the crystallized sugar and arrange the balls, sugared
side up, about 3 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake the cookies in

and cracked on top. Slide the cookies with a spatula to a cooling rack and let
them cool.

My Rating: 4/5 "These were delicious. They came out moist but cohesive and the sugar on the tops added great texture. A great snack for a chilly afternoon!"
