The cookies' dough is made from a fine mixture of flour, cornstarch, butter or margarine and egg yolks which is baked in the oven. After the cookies are ready, they are left to cool slowly to room temperature. Once cool, powdered sugar is either sprinkled upon the cookies, or both powdered sugar and cookies are placed in a plastic bag and shaken to distribute the sugar evenly on the cookies' surfaces. Prepared cookies must be stored in air-tight containers to prevent the sugar absorbing water from the air via hygroscopy. The sweet cookie is much-loved by the Indonesian people, especially children. [4]

Today, while most are prepared in the typical fashion with sugar, several variants of kue putri salju are available including cheese and chocolate. A version including pandan prepared with green food colouring is also popular. [5]
