Heat oven to 350^. Spray baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
Remove dough from refrigerator; shape into 1 1/4 inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.

Flatten each cookie with bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown and just set- Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Place on cooling racks to cool completely. Brush with frosting if desired, when cooled.
