Snowball Cookies

flour ((white, spelt, ww pastry,

walnuts (or almonds or pecans)

butter (or coconut oil)

sugar

powdered sugar (or cocoa powder, for rolling)

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine the butter with the powdered sugar, and beat in a medium bowl or stand mixer. Stir together the flour and nuts in a separate bowl. Then mix all ingredients together to form a dough. Shape into balls, place on a cookie sheet, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned. Ready an extra bowl of powdered sugar, and roll the warm cookies in this bowl to coat. Cool on a wire rack.*You may omit the nuts if desired. I cannot recommend using any flours not listed here or substituting a low fat butter spread, because I have not tried these substitutions.

I know it's not Christmas (or even Thanksgiving yet lol. But since finding this recipe, I don't think I've gone a single month without making a batch. They truly are the most delicious cookies!

I have a grandson who has egg and nut allergies, so I decided to make these Snowball Cookies without nuts - he LOVES them! They are easy to make and freeze well. I love this recipe!

Easy &amp; very tasty ! I used walnuts 
Freeze well , definitely making again

Hi Simone. This recipe is great with white chocolate chips instead of nuts! I am allergic as well.

I recently tried this recipe for snowball cookies, and I have to say, they turned out absolutely scrumptious! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the whole baking process a breeze.

I made these donuts with my daughter and we both loved the results. Thanks for the recipe.

Made this for the first time with oat flour and used a mix of 50/50 almonds and walnuts. SO yummy!

These are not good...they're perfect lol Made 45, ate 8 before bed because I kept going back "for 1 more". Woke up and they were all gone with a sticky note that said "want more...these are yummy". Super addictive. Thanks Katie :)

Totally Delicious &amp; EASY! I gave this recipe to my caregiver to make. He had a "deer in the headlights" look &amp; confessed he had never made them &amp; didn't much care for cookies. I have great confidence in him; the result was a SMASHING SUCCESS! Sweet, too, he tried one, then a few more... then took the recipe home &amp; a bagful for his family. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

I made them vegan by substituting Earth Balance spread for the butter/oil. ( I normally do not use this because it contains palm oil, but our go-to vegan butter, Kite Hill brand, has an odd texture when melted and I was afraid  it wouldn’t work in baking).
Last year I used Bob’s Red Mill  gluten-free flour to make them gluten-free and I felt they had a sawdust texture, like many gluten-free products.Bob’s is a great brand; you just can’t make some gluten-free items taste like the original.Since no one here has celiac disease I just used regular flour this year.Delicious!
I would love a buttery flavor but my daughter is vegan and I’m trying to eat less dairy so that’s good for us.

Hi, first off I want to say thank you Katie for all your wonderful creations. I have your original cookbook and it’s awesome. I tried this recipe today. I believe I followed the recipe, using Bob’s GF 1 to 1 baking flour and coconut oil. Not sure if anyone’s tried it with both of those but they came out as flatter cookies, like snow drifts, not like round snowballs. Other than that they were easy and tasty.
