Has anyone here tried using an atlas pasta machine to sheet Sugar Cookie dough?

Question

I saw a recipe for cinnamon roll cookies, where sheets of sugar cookie dough were rolled out, covered with brown sugar and cinnamon and rolled up to make cookies. I have my problems gaging how thick/thin the dough is rolled and wonder if I can use a machine to make uniform relatively thin sheets.

The cookie dough is much softer than a pasta dough. 
I suggest finding something that is about the thickness you want your cookies rolled. For example place 2 pencils on each side of the dough and roll the dough until you reach the pencils, your dough will be the thickness of the size of the pencil. 
If you want them thicker 2 cutting boards, roll the dough between the two boards the rolling pin will not go below the boards. 
You can buy pieces of wood, dowels the size you want.  there are rubber bands you can place over each end of the rolling pin that will do the same thing.

I've seem a similar 'machine' on the TV rolling Fondant icing, So I presume the pasta roller could work if its dusted with confectioners sugar?
