Arrange all the cookies on the baking sheet without touching each other. Bake the cookies in the preheated 325"F oven for 20 minutes. Remove the wedding cookies from the oven and allow them to cool off just for a few minutes before rolling them over the reserved powder sugar.

Spread the melted chocolate over the top layer and refrigerate. When stiff remove cookies from the refrigerator and let chocolate soften slightly before cutting into small rectangles.
