Snowball Cookies
Equipment
- Hand mixer
- Cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup flour
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup unsalted butter (two sticks)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees!
- Add the flour, pecans, and salt in a bowl and mix together. Set aside.
- In another bowl, add the softened butter vanilla extract, almond extract (optional) and powdered sugar. Mix with a hand mixer or by hand until the mixture is creamy. It took me a few minutes to get it to a creamy consistency.
- Add the flour mix to the butter mix 1 cup at a time. And mix together until no flour is visible.
- Use a cookie scoop and place them about 1 inch apart. Cook for 10 minutes at 400.
- Once they are cooked, place them on a cooling rack. Roll in a bowl of powdered sugar. And continue this process another time. The cookies are a mess to eat but delicious.
Notes
* next time I make these I'm going to leave out the almond extract. I wasn't a fan of it. The taste is subtle but I noticed it.
