The total time noted (two hours) includes baking and cooling time.
Beat in the eggs.
Reduce speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
Form the dough into balls (each equal to 1 level tablespoon).
Roll the balls in the confectioners sugar and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake until the cookies are firm and the tops crack, 13 to 15 minutes.
Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
