It doesn’t get more festive than these buttery pecan snowball cookies! They’re so delicious — full of buttery, nutty flavor and rolled in powdered sugar to make them nice and sweet. They’re perfect for adding to holiday tins because you can store them at room temperature.
Have you ever had snowball cookies? You may know them as snowdrop cookies, Mexican Wedding Cookies, butter balls, or Russian Tea Cakes. They’re absolutely yummy no matter what you call them.
For a different take on this classic Christmas cookie, try my Christmas Snowball Cookies, Candy Cane Snowball Cookies, and Double Chocolate Snowball Cookies for your cookie exchange.
These buttery, sugary cookies just melt in your mouth, but the pecans give them a nice crunchy factor and nutty flavor.
This recipe calls for 7 super simple ingredients — you probably have everything you need to whip up a batch right now!
The best part? They look like actual little snowballs, so they’re absolutely perfect for the holiday season. Plus, you can make them ahead and freeze them so all the baking doesn’t pile up on you at once.
