Marcona Almond Snowball Cookies
These Snowball Cookies are a delightful blend of butter, powdered sugar, and nuts, coated in a snowy dusting of sweetness. Simple ingredients, irresistible results!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¼ cup Confectioners Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup & 2 TBSPs of All-purpose flour
- ½ cup finely chopped Marcona Almonds
- ⅛ teaspoon salt omit if Marcona Almonds are salted
- Confectioners Sugar for Coating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in flour, nuts and salt (if required). You may need to use your hands to help the dough come together.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. You should get approximately 18-24 cookies depending on the size.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool slightly on wire rack.
- While your cookies are baking, prepare confectioners sugar in a bowl for coating the cookies.
- When the cookies are finished baking they will be ever so slightly golden brown. Roll each of the warm cookies right inside the confectioners sugar. Let them cool.
- Once cookies have cooled for a couple of minutes, repeat the coating step a second time to ensure the cookie is fully coated in the sugar.
Notes
-Leave out the salt if the Marcona Almonds are Salted
-Gluten Free? Swap out the All Purpose flour for Almond Flour
