Snowball Cookies

❄️ Snowball Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts

• ¼ tsp salt

• Extra powdered sugar for coating

Instructions

1. Make the dough: Beat butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla.

2. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add flour and salt, then stir in the chopped nuts until a soft dough forms.

3. Shape: Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.

4. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden.

5. Coat: Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes, then roll them generously in powdered sugar.

6. Finish: Once completely cool, roll them in powdered sugar a second time for that classic snowy appearance.

Tip: Don’t overbake them—the cookies should stay pale and tender.
