About Snowball cookie

Snowball cookies, also known as Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies, are delicate round treats commonly enjoyed during holidays and special occasions. Their origins are linked to European and Latin American dessert traditions. Made from simple ingredients like butter, powdered sugar, flour, and finely chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts, these cookies have a crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth texture and are generously coated in powdered sugar for a snowy appearance. While their rich, buttery base and sugar coating make them more indulgent than health-focused, the addition of nuts provides a subtle source of healthy fats and protein. These cookies are typically small in size, making them easy to enjoy in moderation. Perfect for festive gatherings, Snowball Cookies offer a delightful combination of sweetness and nuttiness that makes them a beloved treat worldwide.
