Seeryously Gude Cooking

Every year for as long as I can remember my family has made “Snowballs” as part of our Christmas Cookie menagerie.

Snowballs are full of ground pecans, covered in powdered sugar (and they are my husband’s favorite cookie).

This year, I was thinking about making Christmas cookies with my little chefs and thought:

“couldn’t we stack the snowballs and make little snowmen?”

Yes we can.

They may not look perfect, but they are incrediably easy to make, the kids had a blast, nothing raw in the ingredients - so they can even eat the batter, and they baked up just fine.

To make into snowmen, we used two snowballs, the top one smaller that the bottom. We decorated with Chocolate Chips, M&M’s and even Nerds. Once they were done - we had a “snow storm” and covered them with sugar.

Here is the snowball cookie recipe:

Snowballs

1 Cup Butter
1/4 cup White Sugar
2 cups Ground Pecans
2 cups Flour
Confectioner’s Sugar

Directions:

Cream the butter. Add in the sugar and pecans, mix well. Slowly add in the flour until combined. Shape into balls (about 1 tbs).

Bake at 300 degrees on ungreased cookie sheet for 45 minutes. Roll in confectioner’s sugar. Let cool. Roll again.
