Drop cookies onto well greased cookie sheet. Cookies should be about the size of a silver dollar. Bake 8-10 minutes in preheated 360 degree oven. Less time may be needed. Cookies should still be soft.

Meanwhile combine 1 cup sugar and cinnamon. Remove cookies from oven and sprinkle generously with mixture. Pour hot cookies between your hands to firm rolls 2 1/2-3 inches long.
