I love making these buttery, nutty cookies during the holidays. The recipe is simple enough to make ahead and freeze, too!
December is the peak season for cookie baking. It’s also the perfect time of year to make a batch of snowball cookies! You’ll find plenty of different versions of snowball cookies, but I recommend first learning learn how to make snowball cookies with the classic recipe below. I love how they are pecan-filled and melt in your mouth.
What Are Snowball Cookies?
April Preisler for Taste of Home
Snowball cookies are a classic holiday treat, dusted with powdered sugar and packed with pecans. These cookies are also commonly referred to as Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, Italian Wedding Cookies, snowdrops or pecan butter balls. Snowball cookies are the most common way to refer to them because they look like balls of snow.
