Snow Kiss Cookies
When I was growing up, we had a neighbor who brought us these cookies every single year, and they were always my favorite on the cookie plate. They remind me of Christmas, snowy days, and that irresistible nutty, melt-in-your-mouth bite. It’s one of those classic recipes I make every year. And if you love holiday treats like this, you’ll also want to try my Rum Balls!
How do you make snow kiss, snowball cookies?
- Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl. Toast the walnuts until they are golden brown and allow them to cool. (optional)
- Place the walnuts in a food processor or blender and crush until fine. Add this mixture to the butter, sugar, and salt. Add the flour slowly until combined.
- Wrap the dough in sera wrap and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours to chill.
- After they are chilled preheat the oven to 325. Roll the dough into one inch balls and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and let them cool on a rack. Once they have cooled, toll them in powdered sugar.
Do you have to toast the walnuts?
No. But toasting the walnuts will bring our more flavor.
How do you toast walnuts?
- Place the walnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast the walnuts for about 7-10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven until they get about one shade darker.
Can you freeze snowball cookies?
Yes you can. Once you take them out of the freezer and let them thaw, roll them in powdered sugar again to restore their appearance.
