We had read somewhere about a "tear and pile" method. What you do is you get your cookie dough (we freeze ours for an hour after we made the dough) and round it into a perfect circle. THEN, rip it apart in the middle and stack the two sides with the still rounded parts in the middle. Here is an awful photo: (I tend to forget that I blog so everytime I have an "Oh! I can blog this!" moment I never have my nice camera on me)
Now, another interesting and I think easier way to accomplish this is by using a cookie scooper. Did you know these existed? I did not. Anyways, if you use a cookie cookie, but leave some cookie dough on the top, when you take it out of the scooper it will have a nice rounded circular bottom which makes it so it cooks round, but has the wavy top! (the arrow is pointing to the result of a scooper bottom!)
