Nobody has time to chill cookie dough for three hours just to satisfy a mid-afternoon craving. These are the cookies you make when you need something fast and don’t want to deal with a rolling pin or flour-covered counters. It is a basic, no-fuss drop recipe that relies on pantry staples you probably already have.
The trick is the sugar-dipped glass, which flattens the dough and adds a bit of a crunch without any extra work. They come out of the oven in about ten minutes and stay soft enough to last a few days in the cookie jar. It is a reliable, sweet staple for when you just want a decent cookie without the production.
