- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
- Total Time: 30-35 minutes
- Yield: About 24 cookies 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts
The Snowy Coating
- 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) because these cookies are ready to party!
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, whip together the softened butter and sifted confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and make sure it’s thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Add the Flour
Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. It might seem crumbly but that’s cookie magic happening!
Step 4: Incorporate the Walnuts
Stir in those finely chopped walnuts. Now you’re ready to scoop some goodness.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about an inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they start looking a little golden on the bottom.
Step 7: Add the Snowy Coating
Let them cool for a moment, then roll them in confectioners’ sugar while they’re still warm. Twirl them in the sugar again once they’ve cooled for extra sweetness.
Notes
Tip 1: Sift the Sugar
Sifting the confectioners’ sugar helps achieve a lighter texture for the coating.
Tip 2: Walnut Substitutions
If you’re not a fan of walnuts, feel free to substitute them with finely chopped pecans or almonds.
Tip 3: Storing Cookies
Store your cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
