These Snowball Cookies are the easiest and most delicious butter cookies. This version is my mom’s recipe but these cookies are universal and are called many different names.
0 Preheat oven to 350°F.
1 In a big bowl with a handheld mixer (or stand mixer), add the softened butter and mix for a few minutes. Now, add the powdered sugar and mix. Add the vanilla an mix again until light and airy.
8 NOTE: make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed as you add the ingredients one at a time.
3 Optional: Add walnuts, raisins, or other fillings when adding the flour.
2 Gradually add in the flour (a little a time as you mix) and salt. Mix on low-medium speed until a tacky, soft dough.
4 Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5 With a small ice-cream scoop, roll equal cookie balls, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6 Bake for 15-17 minutes (until golden bottoms).
7 While warm, dip in powdered sugar and enjoy!
