Snowball Cookies Recipe

Hey there, welcome back to my baking channel! Today, I am so excited to share with you my recipe for the most delicious Snowball Cookies! These cookies are a classic holiday treat, they are buttery, soft, and have a hint of vanilla. I love to add some chopped pecans to give them a little crunch and make them even more delicious. They are perfect to share with friends and family during the holidays and also make great gifts.
Making these cookies is so much fun too, it's a great recipe to make with kids, they will love to roll them in powdered sugar. And the best part is that they're so easy to make, you don't need any fancy equipment or ingredients, just a mixing bowl and a baking sheet. Trust me, once you try these cookies you'll never want to go back to store-bought cookies again. They are perfect for snacking, for breakfast or even for a party, everyone will love them.
Don't be afraid to play around with this recipe, you can add cocoa powder, or some lemon zest, be creative and make it your own!
So let's get started, let's make some delicious Snowball Cookies!
