To make cookies: Slightly thaw a roll of dough. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut dough into 1 1/3 inch thick slices. Cut each slice into fourths. Roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place balls on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until set around edges with cracked tops. Don't overbake. Remove cookies from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
