Notes
- Tips for working with the sticky dough: Chilling the dough is a must. Use a cookie scoop for making the cookie dough balls. I scooped all of the dough at once and then work quickly to roll the dough in your hands.
- If the dough is sticking to your hands, wash in between.
- Then roll all of the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar.
- Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container up to one week.
- Freeze baked cookies in a single layer in a freezer bag up to 3 months.
- To freeze cookie dough balls, skip rolling in the powdered sugar. Place on a lined cookie sheet for about 2 hours or until frozen solid. Place in a freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months.
- Thaw the frozen cookie dough before rolling in powdered sugar and baking.
