on a lightly floured surface, adding just enough flour to prevent the
dough from sticking for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350?F. Lightly
grease two cookie sheets. Using your hands. Roll the dough into
walnut size balls. Roll them in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Place 12
balls on each cookie sheet. Using the bottom of a glass dipped into
the sugar, flatten each ball to about 1/4 inch thickness. Bake until
light brown,12-15 minutes.
