Pecan Snowball Cookies

unsalted butter

powdered sugar, (plus more for coating)

vanilla extract

salt

White Lily all-purpose flour

pecans

Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a cookie sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat.

In a large bowl, (or in the bowl of your stand mixer) cream your butter and sugar together. Add the vanilla and salt and mix well. Slowly add the flour, mixing well after each addition. A thick dough will form. Add the chopped pecans and mix well.

Scoop 1 tablespoon of the dough out and roll it into a ball and place it on the cookie sheet. I like using a 1 tablespoon cookie dough scoop to get them all the same size. Continue until all the dough has been formed into balls. Place them on the cookie sheet about 1 inch part. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes then gently roll them in powdered sugar while still warm. Allow them to cool completely and then coat them in powdered sugar again.

Being from Newfoundland, I know a thing or two about snowballs! They are a very traditional treat on the island, and loved by everyone. But, who says they have to be chocolate flavoured? Christmastime treats conjure up warming spice flavours, just like the ones in these Holiday Spiced Snowballs! This version is void of chocolate, but has an explosion of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger!

Holiday Spiced Snowballs

butter

evaporated milk

pumpkin spice seasoning

condensed milk

quick cook rolled oats

coconut

In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the evaporated milk and the sugar. Stir to combine and continue to heat until the milk begins to scald.

Once you see little bubbles around the outer edge of the hot milk mixture, add the pumpkin spice and start a timer. Continue to cook and stir the mixture for a full five minutes.

Once done, pour the hot liquid into a large glass mixing bowl. Allow to cool slightly.

Next, add sweetened condensed milk and stir until well incorporated.

Finally, add in the quick rolled oats and 3 cups of the coconut. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the oats and coconut into the milk mixture. It will be sticky, but it’s important to mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed and coated.

Add the remaining coconut to a bowl.  Portion mixture into a slightly heaping tablespoon and roll into balls and then roll into coconut.

Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Once all rolled, place the baking sheet in the fridge, allowing the cookies to chill and firm up for one hour.

After that, the balls can be transferred to a food-safe container. Keep snowballs refrigerated until just before serving.
