This is a super easy recipe and these cookies date back to the 19th century.. so you know they must be good if they have lasted this long in history!

First here is the full recipe..

Snowball Cookies

Then I am using my little cookie scooper..

to make all the cookies the same size

I put them on a ungreesed cookie sheet..

I was going to use parchment paper.. but I didn't worry about it..

Baked them at 400 for about 8 minutes

Then let them cool enough to handle them.. then roll the snowball cookies

in powdered sugar.

And while I was doing it..

I just put them on a wax lined cutting board.

I finished up with that batch and made

many more!

Look at all these Snowball cookies!!!

I think I made over 75!!

I even added more powdered sugar

to give that snowy effect!

These cookies are amazing.. People do add nuts to them but I just don't like a nutty cookie..but if you do, just search online for one of those recipes! I got all these packaged up for the tins in
