Form dough into 1 inch balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Immediately roll warm cookies in powdered sugar mixture. Makes 3-4 dozen.

Crush candy canes by placing in a blender or food processor or by placing in a plastic bag and pounding with a rubber mallet.
