4 gr vanilla
280 gr sifted cake flour

until peaks are very light brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack. While still warm (but not hot), use a sifter to sprinkle generously with confectioners' sugar.

The cookies are slightly sweet and very buttery, so they melt in your mouth. from the Chicago Tribune second annual Food Guide Holiday Cookie Contest December 14, 1989 ----
