Ingredients
Instructions

- Place two cups of powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough into the powdered sugar, then roll and shape into balls.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using egg whites instead of a whole egg. If you want a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can also substitute the Cool Whip with whipped cream if preferred. For a unique twist, try adding a pinch of salt to enhance the lemon flavor. Ensure your lemon zest is finely grated for better distribution throughout the cookies.
