Form a dough ball and wrap it in some plastic wrap.
Let it rest in the fridge for at least one hour.At the end of the resting time, place some granulated sugar on a plate and powdered sugar on another plate.
Form dough balls the size of a cherry and roll them first in the granulated sugar, covering them on all sides, and then in the powdered sugar, covering them completely.
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, keeping them spaced apart as they will expand during baking.Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) in static mode for twelve minutes until golden.
