Snowball Cookies

This recipe is terrible. Terribly delicious. Haha got ya. But really this recipe is amazing

Only thing I changed was the amount of nuts, I added 1/2 cups. Cookies turned out perfect! Easy to make too.

I have been making these cookies since 2004, My family loves them my little girl and I make them every CHRISTmas eve and we give out as gifts to all our family. ABSOLUTELY LOVE them. :D

Great cookies!! I am doing them with rum extract as well, awesome. They were the best cookie at a cookie exchange.

I am wondering if anyone has substituted margerine for butter. I had made an old family recipe for Snowballs prior to trying this one, and I used margerine. They turned out AWFUL this year. I always used this recipe in years past, and I always used margerine. I have felt that they have not been turning out as good as I remember them being years ago. In fact, I find that none of my old tried and true Christmas cookies turn out as tastey. I am kind of losing my desire to bake them. Is the quality of ingredients changing? I use the best that I can find. I have always enjoyed putting together eye appealing and delicious platters of Christmas cookies and stuck with my favorites since my mom made them in the 60's. I am worried about setting myself up for failure these past few Christmas's. Just wondering if anyone shares my experience and sentiments. Thanks....maybe it is just my tastebuds changing!

Waste of ingridients....Came out flat..Very disappointed.......

I made this recipe except I only added 1 cup of crushed pecans. I left them bake for 18 minutes. They turned out perfect. They melted before I could chew. They are not dry or overly sweet. Just love this recipe. Baking cookies too long can dry them out. Bottom of cookies are a shade darker than top.

Worst recipe! They flattened! I should have trusted my gut instinct and refrigerate them! What a waste of food!

Thanks so much for posting this recipe . I love these and couldn't remember what they were called to make some . Made these with my kids and it was so fun . Use to make them with my mom for Christmas and wanted to pass along the fun to them . So good you can't go wrong with these but do stick to small ones these don't do well large.

this is the best snowball recipe, just like my grandma's.....

Fantastic. Not sure what others did that they did not turn out. So simple and just like I remember as a child. My youngest can't get enough of them. The only thing I did differently is instead of rolling the cookies is I put them on the cooling rack after 5 minutes and sifted the confectioners sugar over the top. It gave it a nice even look.

Sounds Good!!!!!

These cookies are wonderful. I made mine about twice the recommended size. I know bigger is usually better, but stick with the smaller balls for these cookies. They melt in your mouth and not to sweet, just perfect for an afternoon snack or a light dessert. Well, as light as a cup of butter can be. You won't be sorry, follow the directions (including the double dip of sugar) and you'll be happy, happy, happy!

The best Snowball Cookie recipe I have ever tried! Not dry or crumbly at all...perfect amount of nut and sweet taste.

I used to have these cookies when I was young, but my mom substituted walnuts for the pecans. I found this recipe and did the same. If you like the taste of walnuts, you;ll love these ;)

this is an easy recipes. for fun- add some colored sandung sugars to the powdered sugar for some added color for the holidays

Simple and delicious. Fun for small hands to shape, and they make small cookies that are great with coffee or for little ones with milk. A Southwest classic.

This is the best snowball cookie recipe ever they just melt in your mouth

Every year we make these lovely cookies!

There is are happy memories in this recipe. Super for the collection of cookies to be set out for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Of all the holiday cookie baking I do this one is everyones favorite cookie. I love this cookie and its so easy to make.

The other reviewer, Kalena, is smoking crack. These are the best cookies EVER. They melt in your mouth! They are a lot of work when rolling in the powdered sugar, but every minute you spend is worth it!

This was was a great recipe - I made this especially for my nephew who is allegic to eggs. He had the most enjoyable Christmas ever.

I've been making these cookies every Christmas season for the last 5 years. I make at least 10 dozen and give these and the candy I make at work and to personal friends. This is everyone's favorite cookie and I'll keep making them. Wonderful with hot tea.

yeh!! they didn't flatten out!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong because by the other reviews, this cookie is suppose to be good but I just finished trying this recipes. Just a warning to those who are going to be trying to bake this. One the cookies crumble a lot so it is difficult to coat with the powder sugar. And second the cookie does not taste good at all. Don't waste your time or ingredients.

these cookies are totally melt in your mouth. I use a coffee grinder to grind my nuts. I only use this grinder for nuts and I only pulse them until they're just right for the recipe.

These cookies are absolutely delicious. The next time I make them, however, I will make them smaller. They crumble very easily when you are rolling them in the powdered sugar. I like that they aren't sickly sweet.

this was super EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! me and my 6yr daugther made its very kid friendly we also made cookies out of this recipe

My grandma and mom have been making these cookies since I was a child and this is identical to their recipe except we add 2 tsp. of vanilla. I make a triple batch of these cookies every Christmas and make them larger than suggested and get 2 dozen instead of 3. The texture is so sandy and they are not overly sweet. With all the nuts and the low sugar content, this isn't a bad Christmas treat for those who have to count their carbs. This is the best recipe for Snowballs/Mexican Wedding Cakes etc. My grandma's recipe calls them Russian Teacakes.

The snowball cookies are excellent!! They are so tasty and the pecans do the job with the butter cookie and powdered sugar. I certainly will keep for future holidays to come.

I have made pecan cookies for many years, but these are easier than any I have made before and tasty.

Love this cookie! I came across this recipe in a magazine for Land O'Lakes Butter about 16 years ago. I have been making this cookie since then. It is always requested at the holidays and for birthdays, and I have given the recipe out so many times I've lost count. Thank you for this recipe.

The best I have ever tasted.Made a plate full for our relatives and friends over the holidays.Every holiday and special occasion I will always makes these wonderful cookies.The best part, the main ingredient, Land O'Lakes Butter.The Best for baking!M-M-M!Thanks.

I made these for my family for Christmas eve. I was very glad to find this recipe because they tasted just like the ones that my mother made years ago. My mother died this summer and I was so happy that I could make them for my brother.

This is a fabulous recipe. Make sure your nuts are chopped very fine. Also, these are more of a two bite cookie. I will make them smaller next time for a one bite cookie so the powder sugar won't make a mess!

Good Cookies

My mother made these cookies at Christmas time when I was 9 or 10 and now I'm 48 so it's been a while. Several years ago, I made an attempt to find the recipe on the internet because I wanted to make them for my children. I found this recipe and have been making them ever since. My children now ask for Snowball Cookies at Christmas time. It's just not Christmas without them.

Have been making this recipe at Christmas time for about 6 years, and it's expected by the family (and local extended family) every year. SO delicious. A pain to double roll each one, but otherwise a very easy recipe.

This recipe has been in my family for years and Christmas wouldn't be the same without these cookies. They are delicious!!
