These cookies are a Christmas favorite at our house! I don't chill the dough, and I use the wooden handle on our knife sharpener (from a wooden block set) to form the little cups in the mini muffin pans. Simply dip the wooden end of the knife sharpener into some flour and press down into the ball of dough in the mini muffin well and voila, you've got little cups to put the batter into!
