Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on generously floured cloth-covered board. Cut into 3-inch circles; sprinkle with sugar. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on well-greased cookie sheet. Bake until almost no indentation remains when touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet.
