Almond Snowball Cookies – Snowballs Recipe – Christmas Cookies – Ellen’s ChristKwan Series 🍪⛄️

Hello, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays my Friends, welcome to my Southern Kitchen!

Today on the eleventh episode of Year 2 of my ChristKwan Series of 2024, I am making the classic Christmas Snowball Cookie but with a twist, Almond Snowball Cookies! Soft, chewy, full of Almond flavor and dusted with lots of Powdered Sugar; if y’all love Almond, y’all will love and enjoy these Snowballs even Santa Claus when he comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup toasted slivered almonds, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup (1 stick, 8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup butter flavor shortening
2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted or whisked, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract

Makes 13 to 16 Snowball Cookies, depending on the sizes

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Line a 9×13-inch cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.

In a medium or large bowl, add in the flour and salt, or whisk together until well combined. Then add and stir in the chopped almonds and set aside.

In a large bowl using a stand mixer with the paddle and or using an electric hand mixer, add in the butter, shortening, powdered sugar, and almond extract; cream together on medium speed until fluffy (scrape the bowl occasionally). Reduce the speed to low and slowly add and mix the flour and almond mixture until well incorporated (be careful not to over mix). Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, roll and form the dough into 1”-2” inch balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottom edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool slightly in the pan for about 8 minutes. While the cookies are a little warm, place them in a bag of powdered sugar and shake to coat them. Place the snowballs onto a cake stand, serve with a glass of milk (if desired) and enjoy!
