Happy Sweet Tooth Saturday everyone! I'm keeping with the winter theme and sharing a delicious cookie my mom used to make when I was a kid. Check out my snowflake cupcakes from last week, if you happened to miss them.
Winter brings snowflakes and if we get enough of them we can make snow balls! That is what I am calling today's cookie, Snow Balls. They are also known as Butter Balls. I asked my mom to send me the recipe and she reminded me it was already in my handy dandy recipe book she made me.
So I turned to the cookie section and there they were! FYI if you choose to make these, the dough has to refrigerate over night.
Ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 lb. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
2 cups chopped walnuts (I used hazelnuts)...surprise surprise :)
powdered sugar for coating
In your mixer cream the butter and powdered sugar together.
Add in the vanilla and flour.
Mix until well combined.
Mix in hazelnuts or whatever nut of your choice.
Form into a ball, wrap and refrigerate over night.
When you are ready to bake the next day. Preheat your oven to 350. Roll into balls and bake for 12 minutes.
Once cooled, fill a zip lock bag with powdered sugar and drop your cookies in to coat.
Voila! Snow Balls.
Mmmmm! So good. It has been forever since I have had these.
You are sure to fight over these. Would that be a snow ball fight??? :)
See you next week.
