Drop dough by rounded teaspoonsfuls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Grease bottom of glass and dip in sugar, you can even use different colored decorator's sugar for rainbow looking cookies. Or press M&Ms into the cookies or nuts or even raisins instead of sugar.
Either way, after this is done, bake 8 to 10 minutes until a light golden brown. Cool on wire rack. This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies. This is a great recipe for cookies to frost with frosting if it's a special holiday or birthday. It's up to you! Enjoy!
