\"Snowball
\nThese snowball cookies from Brain of Bryn<\/a> couldn’t be a more perfect way to cap off this series of festive holiday baking. We’ll let Bryn take it from here:<\/p>\n

From Bryn: SNOW! One of my very favorite things. So bringing snow to life on the cookie tray makes me happy at the holidays.<\/p>\n

Below is my family recipe for Christmas Snowballs—they’re super easy to create at home. Mom and I made them together a few weeks ago in her cozy kitchen upstate while the snow swirled around outside and they were simply perfect.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Snowball Cookies<\/h1>\n

What You’ll Need:<\/h3>\n

1 cup oleo
\n1\/2 cup granulated sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla
\n2 1\/4 cups flour
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n3\/4 cup chopped walnuts or other nuts
\nConfectioner’s sugar<\/p>\n

What to do:<\/h3>\n

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.<\/p>\n

Mix together the oleo, granulated sugar, vanilla, flour, salt, and nuts until a dough forms. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. <\/p>\n

Bake balls 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, place some confectioner’s sugar on a plate. As soon as the balls are done baking, roll the balls in the confectioner’s sugar, working quickly to avoid burns. Set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

Once the balls have cooled, roll them in more confectioner’s sugar until well-coated all over. <\/p>\n
