Dear Karly-I just made this recipe and the cookies look wonderful and the texture is what I remember making with my mother. One major difference I noticed was cooking time. All other recipes for these snowball cookies have basically the same ingredients in the same proportions. I noticed that you cooking time was the longest I have seen and at the lowest temperature-which made me suspicious. Luckily, I checked the cookies after 13/15 minutes and they were already done! Even brownish on the bottom. Other than oven failure, type of pan and altitude-what else can account for this big difference in cooking time??? Thank you

In reply to Carolyn. I use Swan's Down Cake Flour (same amount as you would flour) and get a much smoother consistency and the snowballs do not have 'holes' or empty spots inside of the cookie. Never use Self Rising as you'll have a flat cookie that's only fat in the middle and those are basically useless. Lessons learned. Also try to get Madagascar Vanilla (I get mine on ebay) and use a pecan grinder.

These are everything I ever want in a holiday cookie. Festive, sweet and simple. I can almost taste them already!

I don’t know what it is, but I’m a total sucker for cookies and pastries covered in powdered sugar. It’s funny because I’ve never really been interested in powdered sugar on breakfasts (pancakes, French toast, etc), but if you coat a cookie or a little donut in one, I’m all over it. This is to say that I would eagerly gobble up a whole tin of these. They’re cute, festive, and delicious. Great recipe, and great job!

Ahhh, these are by far my fave Christmas cookie. My Mom has made them every year since I was a little girl, and I know she’s whipping up a batch for me when I go visit at Christmas this year. These look perfect!

My sister-in-law used to make these and I haven’t had them for years. I am going to try them. I love that they look like snowballs and will add some interest to a cookie platter! And such simple ingredients!

I’m sure our neighbours in Atlantic Canada would love to share their snow with us!! We don’t have much here in Winnipeg but I would rather have these snowballs than real ones!!
