Instead of rolling into balls, I made cocoon shaped bigger cookies and baked them a little longer because 12 minutes made soft cookies. I baked until slightly brown. I used room temperature butter and the batter was not at all crumbly. I also cooled the cookies for about 15 minutes before rolling them in powdered sugar. Since the cookies were still cooling off, it melted the powdered sugar on the cookie and form a sort of sugar butter around it!!! So yummy! I'm not sure if you'd get the same result if you completely cool the cookie first before rolling in sugar. Then when the cookies were completely cooled, I rolled them in powdered sugar again. My fiance said that these were better than his grandma's Russian tea cakes because the texture of the cookie is so light and crumbles/melts in your mouth.
