I love cookies, but at Christmas?  They’re the absolute best.  I love the ritual of baking them, of trying new recipes, and of filling my home with delicious cookie baking smells. So maybe you feel the same way too, and that’s why you’re here?  Well you’re in luck, I’m sharing a delicious and easy recipe for Snowball Cookies. These are one of those cookies that seems to appear on every holiday sweet tray, Christmas just isn’t the same without them.

I think Snowballs are one of the most delicious Christmas cookies out there.  On first bite you get the sweetness of the icing sugar they’re rolled in, then you get the sweet, buttery and nutty flavour of the classic Snowball cookie. So good.

And they’re so pretty too.  Just look at them all gorgeous rolled up in icing sugar.  Here’s a tip for you too…right before you serve them, give these Snowballs an extra dusting of sugar.

Then put them out and watch them disappear.
