In the Kitchen – Snowball Cookies

So my work schedule is back to Monday through Friday which means less time to bake, but I may have just found the easiest cookie ever!

I have always loved these cookies, but never tried my hand at making them myself. Who knew that it could be so easy and quick! I seriously now consider these the best cookie swap cookies around!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup finely chopped almonds (I chopped mine in my Ninja)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
• 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting cookies

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
2. Cream butter
3. Slowly add sugar and continue creaming until fluffy
4. Add nuts and vanilla
5. Gradually sift in flour & mix well
6. Shape into balls
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes
8. Let the cookies cool completely before putting in ziploc baggie with 1 cup powdered sugar and coating generously

That is all you have to do! Plus these cookies get better the older they are so I recommend waiting at least a day or two before eating them, hence the perfect cookie swap cookie! I’d love to hear what your favorite holiday cookie is so I can add it my Christmas Eve dessert table!
