Using a measuring teaspoon, measure dough and roll it into balls in the palms of your hands. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. They will be dry, not doughy. After they cool slightly but can be handled with your bare hands easily, roll the tea balls around in the powdered sugar until generously coated. These store in a cookie jar for quite a while unless you have cookie monsters in your house. These are tedious to make, but not difficult. Engage some unsuspecting child to help you with the rolling. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Penny Reeder" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Favourite Christmas cookie request > Hi Donald, That's a terrific idea.
