Tossing these cookies in powdered sugar while hot creates a welcome layer of sweetness that doesn’t overpower the herb mix. Za’atar, the dried herb spice mix used in savory Middle Eastern cooking, shines in these lightly-sweetened, crumbly wedding cookies, coated in snowy powdered sugar. While the cookies bake, whisk together the remaining 2 cups powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons za’atar in a large bowl. Once all the cookies are cooled, toss them again in the za’atar sugar until completely coated. Make ahead: The cookies can be stored, covered with any leftover za’atar sugar, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
