5. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown. Remove from over and allow to cool slightly. While cookies are still warm (but NOT hot) remove them from baking sheets and roll, a few at a time, in powdered sugar. Allow cookies to completely cool on wire racks.
6. Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.
7. NOTE: Forming dough into 1" balls will increase yield to 48 cookies.
