Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough about the size of a walnut, and with floured hands, roll into a ball. Place on cookie sheet. Flatten cookies with the bottoms of a glass that has been dipped into sugar.
Bake for 10 minutes. Do not over-bake. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
