Notes
Note: Please note the differences in the sugar cookie crust in the photos in this post. For one set, I rolled and cut the sugar cookies out. These are very uniform and are perfectly circular.
The other set of images, I used the scoop and squish method described above. This will result in a rustic looking cookie.
