Hello and welcome to in the kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make snowball cookies.
Snowball cookies are essentially a type of sugar
cookie with nuts inside and rolled in powdered sugar.
Really popular here in the states during the holidays and
super easy to do only six ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.

Let's get baking down below.
In the description box, you'll find a list of the
ingredients and their amounts.
Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
or 2.5 Celsius.
And now I'm going to begin with a large bowl here, and I have
one cup of softened unsalted butter.
You can use salted butter.
And if you do, you're just going to reduce the amount of
extra salt that you add by half.
So I'm going to add this saffron butter here.
And if you forget to take your butter out of the fridge to
soften and just put it in the microwave on defrost
four minute, minute and a half.
And that'll soften it right up.
So we have the butter in here, and then I have one and a half
teaspoons of vanilla extract.
And I have two thirds cup of powdered sugar.
And then with a mixture here, we are going to
cream these together.
I'm going to come in here and scrape the sides of the ball,
and if you don't have a hand mixer, you can just mix
this by hand with like a wooden spoon or.
Once you have those ingredients creamed together,
add in the nuts.
I have three fourths of a cup of chopped,
finely chopped pecans.
But you can use walnuts, peanuts, almonds if you want to
mix that in.
OK, and then now I have two and one fourth cups of flour,
all purpose flour.
I'm going to just sprinkle some of that on there and one half
teaspoon of salt.
Scrape the sides of the ball,
and Adam, some more of that flower.
And then some more of that flower.
Add in some more rest of this flower.
And notice there are no eggs in this recipe.
All right, so there we go.
And it's going to be nice and thick.
Cookie dough, awesome.
I'm going to scrape the sides and just kind of further mix it
in a little bit and we can be done with these beers.
And you can totally eat this cookie dough, right, if you
want because there's no eggs in there.
So just go to town and eat that if you want.
Oh, OK.
And just clean off these beaters and I'll make sure that
your hands are clean.
I mean, come in here with a just a tablespoon.
So if you put that in there, it's about a
rounded tablespoon.
And we're all into a ball and place it on a sheet pan lined
with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
And these are not going to spread very much.
So you can put these fairly close together.
All right, and then once you have the world out and on
the pan, into the oven, it goes again 400 degrees Fahrenheit,
two or five Celsius, and we're going to bake these for eight
to 10 minutes onto that step.
And when they come out of the oven, they'll look
something like this lightly, lightly golden brown on the top
and lightly golden brown on the bottom.
And you're going to let them cool just for a few minutes and
then to where you can handle them.
And then coming here to a bowl of powdered sugar.
And just roll them in the powdered sugar.
And place them on a wire rack and they will cool the rest
of the way.
And this was just about a cup half of a cup of powdered sugar
in this bowl doesn't have to be exact and you won't use
it all.
But you just want to coat those.
Cookies.
And the sure and if you wait until the cookies are
completely cold or cool, the powdered sugar won't stick
as well to them.
So you want him to be a little bit warm?
When you dipped in in the powdered sugar.
Again, make sure it is in clean hands.
All right.
The snowball cookies are done and turned out fantastic.
If you like sugar cookies and you like shortbread cookies,
most likely you will love these once again, really easy to do.
Only six ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
