  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough into small balls. This will help ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them in powdered sugar. This will help prevent the sugar from melting.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon snowballs are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a bright lemon flavor. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
