  • 2
    Cover and refrigerate dough at least 1 hr or more until its firm enough to handle Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Shape into 1" balls and roll into powdered sugar. I prefer using a small "ice cream scoop" so the cookies are even size and also not as messy!
