SNOWBALL COOKIES
These are a long-standing family tradition at Christmas; it just wouldn't be Christmas without them! They are basically a shortbread-like cookie, rolled into balls and baked, then rolled in powdered sugar while still warm. Delicious!

CHRISTMAS SNOWBALL COOKIES
Most people refer to these delicious cookies as Mexican Wedding Cakes. Since my children were young, we have always refered to them as Christmas Snowballs because they look just like snowballs covered in powdered sugar!

STRAWBERRY SNOWBALL COOKIES
I love to enjoy a couple of these rose-tinged cookies with a cup of tea. I make the sweet pink sugar dust by pulsing freeze-dried strawberries with powdered sugar. For a less dense cookie, you can make them half as big.

Steps:
- For the cookies: Beat the butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl, then add to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies until golden brown on the bottoms, 13 to 15 minutes.
- For the strawberry sugar dust: Meanwhile, pulse the strawberries in a food processor until it forms a powder. Add the powdered sugar and pulse until combined.
- Roll the warm cookies in the strawberry powdered sugar and transfer to wire racks to cool. Roll in the strawberry powdered sugar again, if necessary, after cooled.
SNOWBALL COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven 325 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the nuts in the bowl of a food processor, and process until finely ground or the texture of coarse cornmeal, 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the flour and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 6 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then reduce the speed to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Roll the dough into balls (about 24 dough balls) and place about 1 1/2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden and the bottoms begin to brown, 18 minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Roll the cookies in the confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Tip the pecans into a food processor and blitz until they resemble a rough powder. Tip into a bowl and stir in the flour.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter, caster sugar and orange zest together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the flour and pecan mix and stir with a wooden spoon until everything comes together in a rough dough. Shape into 10 even-sized balls and put on the tray.
- Bake for 15 mins until set but the top is still pale in colour. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 mins, then, once cool enough to handle, gently roll the balls in the icing sugar and return to the tray. Leave to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days. Dust with more icing sugar just before serving.

SNOWBALLS II
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
