Snowball Cookies #Cookielicious

November 28, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am joining a virtual cookie exchange with my friends at #SundaySupper.  Today we want to share with you cookie recipes to help  get you through the holiday season.  Can you believe it’s almost Christmas?  I don’t, it’s just pure craziness.  But it’s here and that means cookie season is upon us.  However, every week is cookie season in my house.  You know how I love to bake my cookies every Sunday and now I have an excuse to bake even more.  I can guarantee there will be lots of cookie recipes in the next month.  Today I am sharing with you Snowball Cookies, other known as Wedding Cookies. Yummy!

Snowball Cookies (Aka Wedding Cookies) #Cookielicious

These cookies are light, fluffy and have an amazing almond flavor.  Plus they are super easy to make too. I loved them so much I made a double batch, one for home and one for work.  They are also the perfect cookie to make if you are out of eggs. Yup, no eggs involved in these cookies.

Snowball Cookies (Aka Wedding Cookies) #Cookielicious


The Snowball Cookies are made with ground up almonds, flour, butter and almond and vanilla extract.  I have to say the star of the show is the powdered sugar.  You only need a half cup in the cookie and of course you need more for rolling the baked cookie in.  These cookies kind of remind me of an elegant cookie I would get in Europe.

Snowball Cookies (Aka Wedding Cookies) #Cookielicious

In the recipe, I didn’t have ground up almonds, so I used whole almonds and just ground them in my mini food processor.  Super easy to do.  So don’t worry if you don’t have ground almonds on hand.  By the way, buy your almonds in bulk if you can, so much cheaper buying them this way.

A puffy, round cookie with the flavor of almonds that have been rolled in powdered sugar.
Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 sticks butter, unsalted, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup ground almonds
  • 2¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
  3. In a large bowl, add butter, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts and salt; beat until well combined. Beat in ground almonds until combined. Beat in all purpose flour until just combined.
  4. Take about a teaspoon size of batter and roll into a ball. Place 1" apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, just until bottom starts to lightly brown.
  5. Meanwhile; in a medium bowl, add 1½ cups of powdered sugar.
  6. Take cookies out of the oven and let cool for about a minute. Roll into powdered sugar and place onto cooling rack. Once cookies completely cool, roll for a second time in powdered sugar.
  7. Place in a airtight container.
Notes
You can use almond meal in place of ground almonds. To make ground almonds, just take ¾ cup of whole almonds and process in a mini food processor until ground.

The calories should be less than what I posted. I had plenty of powdered sugar left over when I rolled them. I made two batches and still had left over powdered sugar.

Snowball Cookies (Aka Wedding Cookies)

These cookies would be beautiful, displayed on your counter to share with guests.  Plus the cookies are sturdy enough that they will ship well.   You can store them in an airtight container on your counter.  I don’t think they would freeze well because of the powdered sugar.

I wanted to let you know that we are having a twitter party to discuss our favorite holiday memories, baking tips and more.  It is scheduled for Tuesday, December 1st at 7:00pm (EST).  Just use #Cookielicious.  I would love it if you joined us!

Now time to heat up the oven and bake your favorite holiday cookies.

Toodles,

Jennifer

    These are one of my favorite cookies! They are so dangerous to have around because I want to eat them ALL!

    I agree! These cookies *are* dangerous to have around. Just walking through the kitchen you’d have to “sample” one to make sure everything is Ok and if you just happen to walk through the kitchen two or three times a day well…. 😉

    I can remember making these as a child and with my own children. I guess being from the south, we always used pecans.
    It’s a wonderful recipe! Thanks for sharing your version!!

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

I styled my outdoor seating area and added some patriotic decor. Can you believe it’s almost Memorial Day? I created this little tray by using my new Mango Wood Stars that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they so cute?

The Mango Wood Stars are solid wood and they stand on a mango wood base. The stars are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🌷
Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?
