Notes
Chilling the dough helps create thicker cookies with more dramatic crinkles. You can skip chilling, but the cookies may spread more while baking.
Rolling the dough first in granulated sugar helps keep the powdered sugar coating from dissolving during baking.
Avoid overbaking. Cookies should still look slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
