- Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls, roll in hands, then coat generously in powdered sugar.
- Place on prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until crinkled on top but soft inside.
- Let cool 5 minutes on tray, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or store for later in an airtight container.

Notes
Consider adding crushed candy canes or chocolate chips for a delightful twist. Swap peppermint extract for orange or almond extract for an equally festive flavor.
