Butter Ball Cookies / Snowball Cookies

These cookies are taste so great and it just melt in your mouth like butter. Here I have used ground walnuts, you can replace it with your favourite choice of nuts like Almonds, pecans etc.. but make sure to grind it finely for better taste and texture.

My little one call it as 'SNOW BALL COOKIES'.

1. Add half of the dry mixture into wet mixture, beat it in speed 2 until all together.

2. Add rest of the dry mixture and mix well to attain dough consistency.

Preheat oven to 400

1. Take small portion from dough, shape it into 1 inch ball. Place the dough in baking tray lined with cookie sheet.

2. Repeat the same process for rest of the dough. ( Cookie will not spread while baking, so you can keep more cookies in a single tray)

3. Once you shape all the dough, bake it for 10 minutes or until slightly golden.

4. Take out from the oven and let it warm for sometime. (Do not let it completely cooled down)

5. When the cookies still warm, remove it to plate, sift icing sugar on it. Roll them in icing sugar and then move it to wire rack to cool.
