Wedding Cookies (Snowball Cookies)

  • Add Vanilla – Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  • Add Dry Ingredients – Gradually add sifted flour and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined. Don't overmix or cookies will be tough.

  • Fold in Walnuts – Gently fold in chopped walnuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout dough.

  • Chill Dough – Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes for easier handling.

  • Shape Cookies – Preheat oven to 325°F. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.

  • Bake – Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers appear slightly underdone. This creates the tender texture.

  • Roll in Sugar – While cookies are still warm, roll each one in the ½ cup powdered sugar, coating all sides. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.

  • Double Coat – Once cooled, roll again in powdered sugar for that beautiful, snowy exterior.

  • Store – Keep in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
