Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined. The dough will be soft.
Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet a few inches apart. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until set.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet. While still warm, roll them in powdered sugar. Let them cool completely, then roll in sugar again for a snowy finish.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Use room temperature butter, not melted. It creams better for a tender cookie.
Roll the cookies in powdered sugar twice: once when warm, once when cool. This gives the perfect snowy look.
Don’t overbake. Take them out when the tops look dry but the cookies are still soft.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t use melted butter. It makes the dough too soft and the cookies spread.
Don’t skip the second sugar coating. One coat won’t look as snowy or stick as well. (See the next page below to continue…)
