  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least an hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
  7. Scoop the cookies into 1-tablespoon dough balls with a cookie scoop.
  8. Use your hands to round out the cookie dough, then roll in powdered sugar until coated.
  9. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes (or until cookies are set) in the preheated oven.
  11. Cool on a wire cooling rack and then enjoy!
