  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Make the topping: Whisk sugar, cinnamon, and allspice together in a small bowl.

  5. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in topping and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with a flat-bottomed glass.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
