Cinnamon Sugar Snowball Cookies

👇 Directions

Make the Dough:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
5. Stir in the finely chopped pecans or walnuts.

Shape and Bake:

6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden but the tops remain pale.

Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:

8. While cookies are still warm, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
9. Roll each warm cookie in the cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.
10. Let cool slightly, then optionally roll in powdered sugar for that classic « snowball » look and extra sweetness.

Serve & Enjoy:
