Lightly sprinkle the table with sugar before rolling out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out football-shaped cookies and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Remember to flip every other cookie over on the baking tray so that the cookies will match up evenly when they are paired together. Make sure to cut out an even number of cookies to match as pairs.

Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully move cookies from the baking sheet to cooling racks. Cool completely before icing.

Spread the icing in-between 2 cookies and draw on football laces on the top cookie.
