Description
Almond Snow Cookies are buttery, nutty, and melt-in-your-mouth cookies coated in powdered sugar. Perfect for holiday cookie trays, gifting, or enjoying with hot cocoa by the fire.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar (plus extra for coating)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely ground almonds (or almond flour)
¼ tsp salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
3. Add flour, ground almonds, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet.
5. Bake 12–15 minutes, until bottoms are lightly golden but tops remain pale.
6. While warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar. Let cool slightly, then roll again for a snowy finish.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
These cookies freeze well—bake ahead for holiday prep.
Try swapping almonds for pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts for variation.
