Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Snowball Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine softened butter, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until they transform into a smooth, creamy delight.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, finely chopped pecans, and a pinch of salt, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 5
Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
Step 6
Slide the trays into your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, watching for the bottoms to turn a light golden brown while the tops stay pale—resist the urge to overbake; a slight underbake is preferable.
Step 7
Once they’re done, take the cookies out and let them rest on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 8
While they’re still warm, roll each cookie in 1/3 cup of powdered sugar for a sweet coating, then return them to the wire racks to cool down fully.
Step 9
For an extra touch of sweetness, give them another roll in powdered sugar once they’ve cooled.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful crunch and melt-in-your-mouth texture of these irresistible treats!.
