DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper

3. Roll a rounded tablespoon of dough between your hands to make a ball. Place balls onto prepared sheets. Dip a fork in additional granulated sugar; press fork on each dough ball to make crisscross pattern. Bake 14 minutes, until lightly brown around the edges. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes.
