# Top Tips:

01 -
  • These cookies come together in under 30 minutes using just 5 ingredients you probably already have
  • The crinkled powdered sugar finish makes them look bakery beautiful without any fancy decorating skills
02 -
  • Don't skip rolling the dough balls thoroughly in powdered sugar or you won't get those dramatic cracks that make these cookies so special
  • Underbaking slightly is better than overbaking since these continue to cook on the hot baking sheet and you want them to stay soft
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing so they all bake at the same rate
  • Let the baking sheets cool completely between batches or the dough will start spreading before it even hits the oven
