Knead a soft dough. Make a ball, cover it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for an hour.

Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray. Take the dough out of the fridge and form small balls, as big as a walnut.

Roll out and fold each piece of dough to create small pretzel shaped cookies.

Press them gently with your hand.

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven to 360°F (180 degrees) for around 10 minutes.

Take them out of the oven and cool them on a cooling rack, then sift with powdered sugar abundantly.
