That is a lot like my recipe that my mom taught me. The only difference is that we keep the dough in the fridge over night or at least 4 hours to keep it cool. Then roll it, dip them in water and roll them in sugar.
She got it from her mom (RIP) and now my mom is 85 and teaching it to her grandchildren.
Enjoy cooking!
