Why You’ll Love Snowball Cookies
These tasty and versatile cookies will quickly become a favorite. One way you can make these cookies your own is that you can fill them in a thousand different ways. Feel free to try anything from 🍫 chocolate chips to raisins to walnuts to jam, and so many other fillings. One of my family’s favorite fillings is a piece of Turkish Delight, which we call Lokum back home in 🇧🇬 Bulgaria. On top of their versatility, these cookies are also super easy to make. Whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned baker, you’ll find this adaptable recipe so simple. Along with easy preparation, these snowball cookies have a beautifully easy presentation with icing sugar decorating the top.
How to Prepare Snowball Cookies
🔥 Preheat oven to 350°F. 🧈 With a hand held mixer (or stand mixer), mix softened butter for a few minutes then add the sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. 🥚 Gradually add in the flour and salt. Mix until a tacky, soft dough. 🌰 Optional: Add walnuts, raisins, or other fillings when adding in the flour. 🥣 Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 🍪 Roll 22 equal cookie balls, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. ♨️ Bake for 15-17 minutes (until golden bottoms). ❄️ While warm, coat the snowball cookies with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy!
