Scoop up dough by rounded tablespoons and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls about 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies turn slightly golden at the edges, about 6 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 1 minute, then roll in the powdered sugar-nut mixture while still a little warm.
This basic recipe is from Delish with some adjustments to suit me.
