First, roll the balls in refined sugar and then in powdered sugar, ensuring that special coating.

Arrange the cookies on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between them so they can rise.

Place in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and with characteristic cracks.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
