Add into the mixture, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir only to incorporate dry and wet ingredients. Make sure to not over mix! Cover and chill dough at least 4 hours, but overnight is recommended.

Preheat oven to 350*F. Put powdered sugar into a small bowl. With chilled dough, form the it into one inch balls and roll them in the powdered sugar. Place the balls onto a silicone baking mat (or  parchment paper) line cookie pan. Flatten dough balls ever so slightly. After that, put the cookie pan into preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool before removing them from the pan.
