- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, finely chopped pecans or walnuts, and confectioners’ sugar. This forms the base of your delectable snowball cookies.
- Cream the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This ensures a smooth and cohesive cookie dough.
- Combine and Form Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft and pliable dough forms. Be cautious not to overmix, maintaining the delicate texture of the cookies.
- Shape into Balls:
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for expansion.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Keep a watchful eye to prevent over-baking and ensure a soft and chewy center.
- Roll in Confectioners’ Sugar:
- Once baked, let the cookies cool slightly. While they are still warm, gently roll each cookie in the additional confectioners’ sugar, coating them generously for that signature snowball appearance.
- Cool Completely:
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing. This helps them set and ensures the perfect texture.
Useful Information:
- Nutty Alternatives: Experiment with different nuts like almonds or hazelnuts to add a unique twist to your snowball cookies.
- Storage Tips: Keep your 2-Point Snowball Cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They can last for several days, making them a convenient treat for your sweet cravings.
