- Shape chilled dough into 1" round balls. If you have a cookie scoop the balls will be more uniform. Bake on greased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 375 degrees. When done, while still warm, but not hot, place in a paper bag filled with powdered sugar and shake until cookie is coated.
- If stored properly the cookies are good for a couple of weeks.
