Recipe Summary Snowballs Ii
These are technically Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Teacakes, but my grandmother gave up on us calling them that years ago!Ingredients | Lemon Snowball Cookies1 cup butter½ cup confectioners' sugar¼ teaspoon salt1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour1 cup chopped pecans⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes (Optional)DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.Variation: sometimes for Christmas, Grandma would also add some crushed candy canes. Add finely crushed candy canes to the confectioners' sugar used for the final dusting.Info | Lemon Snowball Cookiesprep: 30 mins cook: 15 mins total: 45 mins Servings: 30 Yield: 5 dozen
