- Roll walnut-size pcs of dough between palms to make round balls. Put remaining 1/4 c. sugar in pie plate; roll dough balls in sugar. Place balls 5 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press each ball with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Bake 10 min. Reduce oven to 300'F and continue baking till lightly browned, 12 to 15 min. Remove to cooling rack.
- Note: An additional 1/2 c. butter can be substituted for the lard. Also, you may bake the cookies at a constant 325'F; cooking time should be about the same.
