      • Chill dough. Roll into 1 inch balls. place on ungreased baking sheet (cookies do not spread). Bake until set, but not brown. While still warm, roll in confectioner's sugar. Cool. Roll in sugar again.
      • Temperature: 400°F (mod hot oven). Time: Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Amount: About 4 dozen, 1½ inch cookies.
