1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready.
2. Combine all ingredients, except sugar for coating, in large bowl
of an electric mixer. Beat on low speed until combined. Refrigerate

soft). Roll in additional sugar to coat. Arrange on baking sheet,
spacing them 3 inches apart.

minutes for smaller ones. Cool on baking sheet 1 minute before
transferring to wire rack to cool.
