- Add cookie dough to Baking Sheet. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the spiced cookie dough balls and place them on a cookie sheet or parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough, leaving about 2 inches in between on the baking sheet, as these cookies will spread when baking. Sprinkle some cane sugar on top for extra flavor.
