How to Make Snowball Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the cool unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the White Lily all-purpose flour, stirring until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the finely chopped pecans until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing apart.
- Bake for 15 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden but tops remain pale.
- Let the cookies cool and roll them in extra powdered sugar, twice for a festive touch.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough for at least an hour and monitor baking time closely to prevent dryness.
