Knead all ingredients thoroughly until they form a compact dough. On a floured surface, shape each piece into a log approximately 2-3 cm in diameter and cut out pieces approximately 3-4 cm in diameter. Form into balls with floured palms. Gently press the tops down with your thumbs, index, and middle fingers. Place in a preheated oven at 200°C and bake for approximately 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. They taste best the next day.
