Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 Tbsp cold butter cut into cubes
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar (*divided)
2 eggs
1 Tbsp almond liqueur (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
1 1/2 cup Gluten Free Flour Blend with xanthan gum (I like Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour)
1 cup finely ground almond flour (I like Bob's Red Mill)
1 cup finely chopped unsalted pecans
1/2 tsp Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a mixer, combine the cold butter and ¾ cup powdered sugar.
  • Add eggs and almond liqueur or vanilla, mixing to combine.
  • Add the flour, then the almond flour, then the pecans and salt a little at a time so that it doesn't create a cloud of flour. Mix well to combine. Refrigerate your dough for about an hour.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or a measuring tablespoon scoop the cold dough and roll into a ball, place onto the lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for approximately 10-14 minutes, depending on how large your snowballs are. They will still be somewhat soft to the touch (but not doughy) and will not be browned on top at all when they are done. The bottom may be lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the cookie sheet.
  • Once they cookies are completely cool, put 1 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl and roll the cookies in the sugar to coat them evenly. Then they are ready to devour!

These are technically Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Teacakes, but my grandmother gave up on us calling them that years ago!

Time 45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
