The Best Snowball Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Add the walnuts & pecans and toast in the oven for 5-6 min.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add 3 tbsp of powdered sugar (for 12 cookies), softened butter & vanilla extract. Use an electric hand mixer to beat it all together, until creamy.

Step 3

Remove the nuts from the oven once toasted. Transfer to a cutting board & finely chop.

Step 4

In a large bowl, add the flour, the chopped nuts & a pinch of salt. Mix to combine.

Step 5

Add the flour mixture in 2 batches. Mix until everything is combined. You may need to use your hands to bring it all together.

Step 6

Use your hands or a cookie scooper to form 2-3 cm balls. Place each cookie on the sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies in the oven at 180°C for about 8-12 min, or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden.

Step 7

While the cookies bake, fill a mixing bowl with the remaining powdered sugar.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven & cool for several minutes before tossing in powdered sugar. Serve & enjoy !
