- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prep cookie sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
- Add the powdered sugar into a bowl, then use a cookie scoop to measure out a ball of dough. Roll it in your hands to form a smooth sphere.1 cup powdered sugar
- Dunk the ball into the powdered sugar and roll to coat it lightly. Place the ball on your prepared baking sheet, then repeat to fill your baking sheet with 12 cookies.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes. You want them to crack on top, but don't overbake them.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Store them in a tightly sealed container, separated by layers of wax paper, on your counter for up to a week.
Notes
- If your hands run warm or it's a warm day, get a gel ice pack from the freezer and periodically chill your hands for 30 seconds with it to help keep the dough from sticking more than it already will.
