optional: chill the dough in the fridge for a few hours to solidify the fat in the cookies. Like that they keep the shape better when baked. The dough can be chilled as a whole or already rolled into small balls on a tray
Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F
Form the dough into small balls (gumball size)
bake the cookies for 8 to 12 min
place the cookies on a cooling rack for about 5 to 10min
roll each cookie in the confectioners sugar so they become a nice white coating
