Essentially the BEST! Our customary Snowball Christmas Cookies are rich, with a lot of pecans and vanilla for a rich and delightful soften in-your-mouth shortbread treat (otherwise called Russian Teacakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies). Never dry in light of the fact that the batter is made with granulated sugar, not confectioners' sugar like different plans that make the treats excessively dry. Tasty gluten free alternative included utilizing our very own GF flour mix. Everybody adores these great nutty shortbread Christmas treats!
What makes our Snowball Christmas Cookies insidious great? To begin with, our formula requires all spread and granulated sugar which is better than plans utilizing confectioners' sugar which contains cornstarch in this manner making the shortbread treat excessively dry. (Ever hack from those treats because of those dry, brittle treats tidied in sugar when the "dust" goes down your breeze pipe?) Using all spread and granulated sugar, with adequate unadulterated vanilla concentrate, guarantees a particularly rich and delicious Snowball Cookie.
Second, our formula calls for pecans which are not as dry as walnuts can be. Furthermore, our formula calls for 2 whole cups (240 g) of finely hacked pecans—not a minor 3/4 cup (90 g) of nuts like most plans, for example, the one found in the notorious Betty Crocker's Cooky Book. At last, the size of the teacakes, the stove temperature and prepare time guarantees prevalent Snowball Christmas Cookies.

Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 226 g) unsalted butter, softened slightly
- 5 tablespoons (63 g) granulated cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon (1.2 g) fine-grain sea salt
- 2 cups (240 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (about 240 g) finely chopped walnuts
- 1½ cups (about 188 g) confectioners’ sugar, for dusting cookies twice
Directions
- Using an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, or handheld electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in the vanilla and salt. Gradually add flour or gluten free flour blend (see Recipe Notes); beating after each addition. Stir in the nuts; mix until fully incorporated. Divide dough in half and refrigerate in plastic food wrap for approximately 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, arrange oven rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350ºF (177ºC). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Place confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl; set aside. Measure dough using a small, 1-inch (2.5 cm) spring-loaded scoop making sure each scoopful is level. Roll dough between palms of hands to achieve a small rounded ball.
- Place dough balls 1½ inches (3.75 cm) apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven until the cookies are just beginning to brown, about 12 to 14 minutes. Do not overbake. The underside of the cookies should be only lightly browned. And the cookies should not crack—a sure sign of overbaked teacake cookies.
- Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire racks for approximately 2 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheets using a metal cookie spatula. While cookies are still warm, gently roll them in the confectioners’ sugar. Place the sugar-coated cookies on wire racks to cool completely. Roll cookies once again in the confectioners’ sugar.
- Yield: Makes about 6 dozen (about 72) small cookies when using 1-inch (2.5 cm) size (very small) cookie scoop as indicated in the recipe. Of course, larger cookie scoops will make larger sized cookies and yield less of them.
