Reduce speed to low, & gradually add flour mixture until just mixed. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. Heat oven to 350ºF. Shape dough into approximately 1" balls, roll in sugar, & place about 2 " apart on a baking sheet. Bake until the edges begin to brown, about 15 min. Cool on baking sheet 2 min, then move to wire racks. Cool completely.
