A couple of days ago I was talking to a friend and she had made Molasses Crinkle Cookies. Vince loves these Gingerbread Crinkle Cookies so I made those yesterday. And, I forgot to take a picture of the finished cookies.
I'm a lazy cook. The recipe calls for using a scoop and scooping a bit, rolling it into a ball, then dropping them in regular sugar, then in powdered sugar. I mash the disks out kinda thin, put it in the freezer for about half an hour, then use the pizza cutter to cut what you see above. Then I use my fingers to kinda mash in the corners. They aren't a perfect ball but it's quick and I don't get my hands nearly so messy if I don't warm that dough up too much.
I like our cookies kinda small and crunchy so the recipe makes a lot of cookies.
I went ahead and cut all the dough and mashed it up into somewhat of a ball, rolled them in the sugar, then powdered sugar, then put all the balls in a freezer bag, added extra powdered sugar to make sure they were all well coated and weren't going to stick together, and stuck the bag in the freezer. When we want cookies again, I'll grab a few out, leave them in the fridge overnight and bake them the next day.
It's an easy way to have fresh, homemade cookies often without much work.
