  6. CHILL THE DOUGH: Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
  7. ROLL IN POWDERED SUGAR: Form dough into balls, coat generously in powdered sugar.
  8. BAKE: Arrange dough balls on baking sheet, bake for 10-12 minutes.
  9. COOL: Allow cookies to rest before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
