Add dry ingredients over creamed mixture; blend well. Form teaspoonfuls of dough into small balls by rolling them lightly between palms of hand. Roll dough balls in granulated sugar to cover entire surface. Place 2-in. apart on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes until tops are crackly and cookies are brown. | ||
