  3. Cover both portions of dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Scoop portions of the dough and roll into balls, then coat in powdered sugar.
  6. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes until crinkled on top.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
