Roll cookie dough into balls the size of walnuts and dip one side into sugar.  Place sugar side up on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for 7 minutes.

Notes: These cookies make a great cheesecake crust.  If using a standard gluten free flour blend, add 1/2 teapoon xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
