ALMOND SNOWBALLS
These Christmas cookies are so pretty, with a sweet almond paste surprise in the center, topped with a tasty almond glaze and a sparkling coating of edible glitter or coarse sugar crystals. They look like they take forever to make, but only you need to know how easy they are! Yield is approximate - these cookie recipes come out differently every time (so it seems to me...).

TOASTED ALMOND SNOWBALLS
Browning almond flour for these cookies adds a deep layer of toasty flavor, intensifying their overall nuttiness. Feel free to substitute other nuts: Pistachios, walnuts and pecans work particularly well. Snowballs keep, stored airtight at room temperature, for about a week.

Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the almond flour, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Immediately pour flour into a small bowl to cool. Watch carefully: Once the flour begins to toast, it will happen very quickly.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, beat butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar on low speed until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, brandy and almond extract until well combined.
- Reduce speed to low and gradually add all-purpose flour, salt and toasted almond flour until just incorporated.
- Scrape the dough into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using your hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until cookies begin to brown at edges. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through for even baking.
- Place 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a sieve. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sift a thick layer of confectioners' sugar over the tops. Once cookies are cool, put remaining 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar (plus any sugar in the sieve) into a shallow bowl and toss cookies again in confectioners' sugar.
HOLIDAY SNOWBALL COOKIES
Mom made these for Christmas every year, as long as I can recall. She also made them for hundreds of weddings! She would let us (the kids) do the sugaring at the end. I tweaked my mom's recipe by using some fat-free items and also adding the milk and sour cream. The original version was a harder cookie. This will make a softer one. These can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated.
