Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.

Categories     Dessert

Time 42m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup hard peppermint candy, finely crushed
1 ounce cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon milk
1 drop red food coloring
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted and divided

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have baking sheets ready.
  • To make cookie: beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. On low speed, gradually beat in flour. Chill 30 minutes or until firm.
  • To make filling: mix candy and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Mix cream cheese and milk until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of candy mixture, and 1 drops food coloring.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Make deep hole in the center of each ball using fingertip or handle of a wooden spoon. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of the filling. (I find the easiest way to do this is with a pastry bag) Bake 12 to 14 minutes until set, but not brown (do not let filling bubble over top of cookies). Roll in remaining candy mixture while still hot. Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • For the perfect snowball shape, use a small cookie scoop or melon baller to portion the dough.
  • Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar immediately after dipping them in the melted chocolate. This will help the sugar stick and prevent it from melting.
  • If you don't have any powdered sugar, you can use granulated sugar or even coconut flakes.
  • To make the snowballs extra festive, decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.
  • These snowballs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Eskimo snowballs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be decorated to match any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet and festive treat, give these Eskimo snowballs a try!
