Notes
- These cookies do not spread during baking. They keep their shape. No need to push them down prior to baking.
- You must do the first roll while the cookies are warm. They will be slightly sticky after the first roll in powdered sugar.
- The cookies must be completely cooled to roll them for a second time in powdered sugar.
