- Once you are ready to bake, in a small bowl 1/2 cup of sugar and mix in the 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice or, just leave the sugar as is.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll cookie dough-sized balls (a little less than a tablespoon) of dough in sugar & pumpkin spice mixture until well coated and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. You should be able to fit 12-15 piece of dough on one baking sheet.
