- In a shallow bowl place remaining ¼ cup sugar. Dip the bottom of a smooth glass into water, then into the sugar and flatten cookies until the edges begin to crack.
- Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven. Place cookies on wire racks and allow to cool. Place in the fridge until ready to frost.

Notes
Pro Tips:
- These cookies can be frozen! I like to freeze the cookies and the frosting separately. Then thaw frosting at room temperature or in a cool water bath when ready to frost and eat.
- I always use parchment paper on my cookie trays when making cookies for best results.
