2. Sift together the remaining ingredients and stir into above mixture.
3. Chill dough for several hours or overnight.
4. Roll 1/4 inch thick, cut in 3 inch circles and sprinkle with sugar.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min and until when touched lightly with your finger, almost no imprint remains.
