Cashew Snowballs image

These are very similar to those "butterball" Christmas cookies that I always remember around the holidays. However, these use CASHEWS, which really add a wonderful flavor! I made these for Christmas cookies in 2003, and they were, by far, everyone's favorite!

Time 50m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

9 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for rolling
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups unsalted cashews, finely ground (11 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter with ½ cup of the confectioners' sugar with hand mixer at medium speed until creamy.
  • Add the vanilla extract.
  • Slowly beat in the flour, roasted cashews and salt until well combined.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape into 1" logs.
  • Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least ½ hour.
  • Cut 1" pieces off of the refrigerated logs, and roll into balls.
  • Place balls about ¾" apart on parchment lined sheets (should be about 3 cookie sheets worth) Bake cookies in oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden.
  • Fill a shallow bow or pie plate with 2 cups of confectioners' sugar.
  • Immediately roll the hot cookies in the sugar to coat, a few at a time.
  • Place on racks to cool.
  • Once cookies are cooled, re-roll them again in confectioners' sugar, so coating looks nice and white and even!
  • Cookies can be stored in airtight container for about 1 week, or frozen for up to one month.

These cashew snowballs are way too sweet. I would cut the sugar in half next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cashew snowballs turned out dry and crumbly.

I'm not a fan of coconut, so I used chopped pecans instead. The cashew snowballs were still delicious.
