Just like these scrumptious Oat Flour Gingersnaps, we are going to roll the cookie dough balls in sugar and place on a prepared cookie sheet for some sparkle and crunch!

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes (don't be tempted to move them sooner- they are soft and will not hold together right out of the oven!) then use a spatula to move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cool.
