Notes

Use gluten free flour to make this cookie gluten free.
Can use salted butter and skip adding salt.
If cookie dough is dry, loosen with up to one tablespoon milk.
If you want the cookies more completely covered in powdered sugar you can roll them when they are warm out of the oven then roll them again when they are completely cooled.
