Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir gently with a spatula or slow electric mixer until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; you want the cookies to stay tender.

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are just turning golden but the tops remain pale—do not overbake!
- 7
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then roll each one in confectioner’s sugar while they’re still slightly warm to ensure the sugar sticks.

For a classic snowball effect, roll the cookies in sugar a second time once they have cooled completely.
