These cookies go by many names but seeing how I only eat them around the holidays, snowball seems most appropriate. I love this recipe that has been in our family for years. It is soft and delicate and so so good! This recipe is simple to put together with only 6 ingredients and one bowl. So whip these up this holiday season with the help of the kids and enjoy!
Makes 2 dozen
- 1 cup butter softened slightly
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Cream butter and sugar together then add water and vanilla; mix well. Mix in the flour and nuts; chill in fridge for 1 hour.
Shape into balls, about 1.5 or 2 tablespoon size, and bake on an ungreased (or on parchment paper lined) cookie sheet at 325 degrees for 20 mins. Remove from pan and cool slightly. Roll in confectioners’ sugar.
Hope you make them! Jenny
