Adjust oven rack to one slot above middle shelf. Preheat oven to 180 °C and line two baking trays with baking paper. Mix cookies according to package instructions. Roll rounded tablespoons of cookie mixture into balls. Measure white sugar into a soup plate.

Sift icing sugar and cocoa powder together in another soup plate. Roll the dough balls in the white sugar to coat.
