Step 4: Portion & prep the cookies
Cookie dough
- chilled dough
- powdered sugar~60 g
- parchment paper
When you are almost ready to , take the cookies out of the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C.
Sift the powdered confectioner's sugar into a bowl or baking dish, and set to the side.
Using a scoop, portion the dough into 20-gram pieces, which will make about 4 dozen cookies. Feel free to make them larger 40-gram cookies instead, which will yield 2 dozen.
- Note: In my tests, I found the ideal temperature of the dough for rolling is 50°F/10°C. If it is too cold, leave it on the counter for a bit before rolling.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then toss each in the sifted confectioner's sugar until fully coated (no bare spots).
Place the rolled, dusted cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets.
