Add this to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well. Chill dough for about an hour; then roll into balls using a rounded tablespoon of dough for each. Roll the balls in additional sugar and place on greased cookie sheets. Flatten with fork. Bake for 8-12 minutes depending on desired crispness. Makes 4-5 dozen cookies.
