Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a mixer, combine the cold butter and ¾ cup powdered sugar.
- Add eggs and almond liqueur or vanilla, mixing to combine.
- Add the flour, then the almond flour, then the pecans and salt a little at a time so that it doesn't create a cloud of flour. Mix well to combine. Refrigerate your dough for about an hour.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a measuring tablespoon scoop the cold dough and roll into a ball, place onto the lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for approximately 10-14 minutes, depending on how large your snowballs are. They will still be somewhat soft to the touch (but not doughy) and will not be browned on top at all when they are done. The bottom may be lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the cookie sheet.
- Once they cookies are completely cool, put 1 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl and roll the cookies in the sugar to coat them evenly. Then they are ready to devour!

DIRTY SNOWBALLS
I love this candy and make it every Christmas. If you are lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe's, their Candy Cane Joe-Joes in place of the Oreos are also a tasty change up.

Dill and garlic go well with the tang of feta in this cheese ball...in fact, I think it tastes like a million bucks. It's super easy to do and for other holidays omit the black sesame seeds.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best results. Make sure the snowballs are made with real cream and butter, not margarine.
- Prepare the snowballs in advance: Make the snowballs at least 2 hours before serving. This will give them time to chill and set properly. You can also make them up to 2 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
- Chill the tools and ingredients: Chill the mixing bowl, beaters, and cream before making the snowballs. This will help prevent the mixture from becoming too warm and melted.
- Beat the cream until stiff peaks form: For the fluffiest snowballs, make sure to beat the cream until stiff peaks form. This means that the cream will hold its shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- Add the condensed milk gradually: Add the condensed milk to the whipped cream gradually, beating constantly. This will help prevent the mixture from curdling.
- Coat the snowballs in coconut: Once the snowballs are shaped, roll them in coconut to coat them completely. Make sure to press the coconut firmly into the snowballs so that it adheres.
- Chill the snowballs before serving: Place the snowballs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up and keep their shape.
