Step 3
A pastry bag is essential for making "Lady Fingers." Fill the bag with the dough. If you don't have one, use a heavy-duty plastic bag and cut off one corner—you can squeeze the dough through it as well. Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Squeeze the dough onto the paper, leaving space between each piece, as the lady fingers may expand in size! Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Place the cookies in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. There's no need to wait for them to darken. They should just set and firm up. Remove them and let cool. The "Ladyfingers" cookies are ready!
