Tips:
- Use softened butter: This will help the dough come together more easily and result in a smoother cookie.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cold, the cookies will not cook through.
- Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them in powdered sugar: This will help the powdered sugar stick to the cookies better.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to a week.
Conclusion:
Snowball cookies are a classic holiday treat that are easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With their sweet, buttery flavor and festive appearance, they are sure to be a favorite at your next holiday gathering. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive cookie to bake, give snowball cookies a try!
