Chill dough about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Shape dough to form 1 inch balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with tines of a fork dipped in granulated sugar to form a crisscross pattern. Bake 9-10 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and remove to wire cooling rack. Makes about 7 dozen cookies.
