Flour your counter, roll each half of dough into a log, then wrap each dough log in Saran wrap. Refrigerate dough logs overnight. The next day remove one dough log from refrigerator and unwrap it. Slice the dough into 1/4" slices. Place cookies on to greased cookie sheets and sprinkle a little white sugar on top of each cookie. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
