Bake for 15 minutes or until bottoms become golden brown. Remove from oven. Place on a wire rack to cool. Once completely cool roll cookies in powdered sugar.

You can also use this cookie dough recipe to make thumbprint cookies. Dust with cinnamon-sugar instead of powdered sugar for a more hojarascas feel. This recipe makes quite a bit of cookies so if you don't need that many cookies I suggest you still make the whole recipe then freeze half the dough and save it for later. Instant cookies!!
