  8. Scoop out portions of the chilled dough and roll them into smooth balls.
  9. Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar, then give it a second roll for a thick coating.
  10. Place the coated dough balls on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly set and the centers are soft.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
