How to Make Snowball Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cool unsalted butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the White Lily All-Purpose Flour, mixing until a thick dough forms.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough, rolling into small balls.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar while still warm.
- Cool completely before rolling in powdered sugar again for a thicker snowy coating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer.
