- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.

- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- While still warm, roll them in powdered sugar for a snowy coating.
- Let them cool completely on a wire rack, then roll them in powdered sugar again for a final coating.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up.
