The dough will become thick and difficult to work at this point; you may want to chill it for an hour or so until it's easier to work with.

5. ~Step 5~ Heat oven to 350 degrees. ~Step 6~ Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them a few inches apart on cookie sheets. ~Step 7~ Butter the tines of a large fork and use it to press the cookies flat. Make a design of perpendicular lines with the fork. Re-butter the fork as necessary. You can also dip the buttered fork into granulated sugar before pressing; some of the sugar will then stick to the cookies.sugar ~Step 8~ Bake for 10 minutes or until just starting to brown around the edges. ~Step 9~ Take out to cool.
