Place dough balls onto prepared baking sheet, 1½ inches apart

Bake until cookies are just beginning to brown, about 12-14 minutes. The underside should be only light brown. Do not overcook, or cookie falls apart

Cool cookies for 2 minutes and then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Roll each ball in the confectionery sugar, then repeat. Enjoy!
