Form several rolls of the dough, approx. Ø 3 cm wide, wrap them in baking paper or cling film and chill them for 1 hour.
Take the rolls out of the refrigerator one by one, cut each roll into small pieces and quickly form each piece into a ball about the size of a hazelnut.
Spread the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart, and flatten them with a fork.
Bake the snowflake cookies in a preheated oven at 160 °C top and bottom heat for about 15 minutes, then let them cool and dust them with powdered sugar.
Notes
The amount of flour given may vary. Therefore, add flour in batches until the dough has the right consistency. It should be very soft, not mushy and not dry.
Knead the dough only briefly and quickly, never too long, so that the snowflake cookies taste tender later.
Do not bake the snowflakes cookies longer than necessary, otherwise they may taste dry. After baking, they must be white and in no case brown.
