Shape balls and roll in sugar. Sprinkle 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a small bowl or shallow dish. Take the dough that you set aside and form 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until it’s covered, and put  them all on the prepared baking sheets. Remember to leave 2-inches in between each in order to prevent merging.
