  • Repeat with each cookie. These cookies don’t spread out, so you can put them fairly close together.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 14 to 17 minutes. Do not over-bake; you don’t want the cookies to brown.
  • When cookies have cooled some, but are still warm, dip them in confection’s sugar. Then when they are completely cool, dip them again.
  • Store in an airtight container.
