- Do not over mix
- Chill the dough for at least one hour
- Heat the oven (with the rack in the middle position) to 350 F. Line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper
- Put the confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl.
- Using a measuring tablespoon, scoop out a level spoonful of the dough into the palm of your hand and roll into a ball (dough will be sticky)
- Add to the confectioners’ sugar and roll it around to coat. Place on the prepared pan.
- Repeat, spacing the cookies about 2” apart; 12 cookies per pan.
- Bake the cookies one sheet pan at a time until puffed, 10 minutes (you want them to be a little under done)
