This term is used to describe a small, round cookie or tea cake that is typically covered with a generous layer of confectioner’s sugar. The cookie is often made with a simple dough that may be flavored with vanilla or other natural extracts, and is typically rolled into small balls before being baked in the oven. Once the cookies are done baking, they are allowed to cool slightly before being dusted with a generous layer of powdered sugar, which gives them their distinctive appearance and flavor. With their delicate texture and sweet, satisfying taste, these cookies are a beloved classic that are perfect for serving with tea or coffee, or as a sweet treat any time of day.
