Nana's Italian Snowballs image

I bake these cookies in my Mother In Law's kitchen where I now reside since I married my hubby. Its an old Family recipe. I can still hear her say "what are you burning!@?" and I laugh out loud a little bit every time I think of it.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tsp vanilla
10 Tbsp granulated sugar
4 c flour
1 tsp salt
4 stick butter
4 c chopped nuts
1 box powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Place butter in mixer and mix until soft.
  • 2. Gradually add sifted flower, salt and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
  • 3. Add vanilla and chopped nuts until evenly mixed. (nuts are optional)
  • 4. Roll in balls or use a cookie scoop to place on ungreased cookie sheet. (Mix will be a bit sticky, not doughy, you can coat your hands with butter if you're rolling them so that they don't stick to your fingers.) These cookies do not expand a whole lot and thus they only need to be about 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
  • 6. Allow cookies to cool completely. (They will fall apart if you try to touch them before they are cool)
  • 7. Once cookies are cool, roll them in powdered sugar and enjoy!

I would give these snowballs a 3 out of 5. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either.

These snowballs are a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making them.

I'm not a fan of coconut, so I didn't enjoy these snowballs. But I think they would be good if you like coconut.

These snowballs didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overcooked them.

I love the addition of the nuts and coconut. It gives these snowballs a nice crunch and texture.

I was a little hesitant to try these because I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I was pleasantly surprised. The coconut flavor is subtle and it really complements the chocolate and nuts.

The combination of chocolate, nuts, and coconut is perfect. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.
