Place all ingredients except coating mix of sugar and cinnamon, into a large bowl and mix well. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the dough and form into balls.
Make sugar coating by combining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each ball into the mixture and place on cookie sheet.
*The dough will be dry when you make the balls just pack it firmly.
Flatten the cookies into a cookie shape about 2-3 inches wide.

Let cool and enjoy!
