Place a pile of coarse granulated sugar (do not use regular) on counter or on a 
baking sheet. 
 
Take a handful of dough and roll out a rope about 1 in in diameter on a lightly 
floured surface.  (Only use enough flour so they do  not stick to the counter) 
 
Cut the rope into 6 inch segments and roll into the sugar. Pushing down lightly 
so the rope gets coated with the sugar. Take a knife and cut into ½ -¾ inch 
pieces. Place on baking sheet lines with parchment paper with the cut end down. 
Press thumb in top to make an indent for the icing. 
 
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until you just start to see some browning.
