Divide the cookie dough into 30 balls, using roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each, and arrange them spaced 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Transfer the sheets to the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Alternately, freeze the dough balls on a small tray or large plate and transfer to the baking sheets after freezing.

Place the powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Remove the dough balls from the freezer. Roll each cookie in the powdered sugar, creating a coating thick enough that no dough is visible, and place on the prepared baking sheets.
