Instructions:

Step 5: Shape the Biscuits 🍪
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls between your palms.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Gently press down on each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten slightly.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with additional sugar for a sweet, sparkly finish.
Step 6: Bake 🍂
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes , or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
