Snowball Cookies
These crumbly, buttery Snowball Cookies are an easy holiday cookie that takes just one bowl and 4 ingredients to make! The easy cookie dough results in a sweet and delicate cookie, dipped in powdered sugar to make them look like little snowballs!
Servings:32 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks of butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups flour
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 390F and line two large cookie sheets with baking parchment.
- By hand, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth, followed by the vanilla.
- Gradually stir in the flour until you have an even dough, but try not to over mix.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and transfer to them to the cookie sheet. Don’t worry about keeping any more than 1 inch space between them on the sheet as they barely spread in the oven.
- Bake the first tray for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are set and only just have the hint of color. Meanwhile, add about 1/2 cup more icing sugar to a shallow dish.
- As soon as the cookies are cool enough to touch, roll them in the powdered sugar and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, bake the second tray and repeat.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, roll them in the powdered sugar again for a second coating.
Notes
- These cookies will keep in an air-tight container for up to 5 days to enjoy them at their best.
