  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
  6. Using a 1-1/4 to 1-1/2-inch scalloped or round cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Reroll the dough as needed.
  7. Place the rounds 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the rounds with coarse sugar.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the bottoms just start to brown and the edges are firm.
  10. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
