Snowball Cookies
These snowball cookies filled with walnuts are rich and flavorful, and a must-bake for me every holiday season.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter , at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup (180 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup (180 grams) walnuts , very finely chopped (See Notes)
- Pinch of salt
- About 1 cup (113 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium high speed until creamy and pale in color, about 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Add the flour, nuts and salt, and mix until just combined.
- Shape the dough into rounded tablespoons and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies just begin to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Let sit on the pan until cool enough to touch but still warm, then roll in powdered sugar. Let cool completely and then roll in powdered sugar again.
