- Double scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. (Use two scoops to make one cookie)
- Dip the bottom of a drinking glass into a small bowl of sugar and then carefully and slowly flatten the cookie dough. You may want to spray the bottom of the cup with non-stick spray before the first cookie.
