       Into large bowl, measure 1/2 cup sugar and remaining ingredients. With
   mixer at low speed, beat ingredients wuntil well blended, occasionally
   scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 2
   tablespoons sugar on waxed paper.  Shape 1/4 cup dough into a ball; roll in
   sugar to coat evenly.  Repeat with remaining dough to make 10 balls in all.
   Place balls, 3 inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheets. (Dough is very
   soft; balls will flatten slightly.)    Bake cookies 15 minutes. With
   pancake turner, remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Store cookies in
   tightly covered container. Makes 10 cookies.
       These are 4" round cookies with crackly, sugared tops, reprised from
