Actually, these Gingerbread Crinkles can be made from start to finish in less than an hour. The quick dough is simply scooped with a tablespoon-size scoop, quickly rolled in the hands, and coated in sugar; the process takes just a few minutes, and with practice, gets even faster. A bonus is that these cookies can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to a week, or frozen for several months.
