4
Start adding in the flour little by little until mixed in. ( For easier handling freeze or refrigerate the dough for ⏱️ 10 minutes or so)
5
Prepare your largest cookie sheet and using a small spoon (or small ice-cream scoop) form the cookies into balls, the size of a golfball or smaller. You should have about 45 cookies.
6
Arrange all the cookies on the baking sheet without touching each other.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated 325”F oven for ⏱️ 20 minutes.
8
Remove the wedding cookies from the oven and allow them to cool off for a few minutes before rolling them over in the reserved powder sugar. It's best that they are still a little bit warm so the sugar coating sticks nicely.
9
Arrange the cookies on a platter and dust with more powder sugar on top before serving.
