Delicious Almond Snowball Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
16
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup chopped almonds (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Extracts

    Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined.

    Use pure extracts for better flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the sifted flour and chopped almonds, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  5. Form Cookies

    Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between cookies as they will spread.
  6. Bake Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. Dust with Sugar

    Remove cookies from the oven, let cool slightly, then roll in the remaining powdered sugar.

    Roll while still warm for better adherence.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

    Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
