Tips:
- For best results, use a cookie dough that is not too soft or sticky. If your dough is too soft, it will be difficult to roll into balls and will spread too much in the oven. If your dough is too sticky, it will be difficult to work with and will also spread too much in the oven.
- If your cookie dough is too soft, you can chill it for 30 minutes to firm it up.
- To make sure your cookies are evenly baked, place them on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before you fill them with the marshmallow cream. If you fill them while they are still warm, the marshmallow cream will melt and run out.
- To make the marshmallow cream, simply combine marshmallow fluff, butter, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and beat until smooth.
- You can use any type of sprinkles you like to decorate the cookies. Just be sure to add them before the marshmallow cream sets, or they will fall off.
Conclusion:
Snowball Surprise Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make Christmas treat that is sure to be a hit with family and friends. With their soft and chewy cookie dough, creamy marshmallow filling, and festive sprinkles, these cookies are a perfect way to celebrate the holiday season.
