Use a medium-sized scoop to scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough. Roll into a ball and then roll in the granulated sugar to coat. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets and use a fork to press and slightly flatten and form the lines. Bake the cookie dough at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until done. Cookies will be slightly soft in the middle. Cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.
