SANTAS SNOW BALLS.. (Cookies) image

I love my Bath Tub Santa, and these cookies.! They are very simular to a Russian Tea Cake or a Mexican Wedding Cookie. My recipe uses whole wheat flour, and almond flavoring. This gives them an wonderful different taste. Maybe the use of anise extract would an be a nice flavor change also. I am sure Santa would approve. When you wind santa up ,his arm goes up and down, like he is scrubbing himself!...LOL nancy...12/15/12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cup(s) whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1-1/4 cup(s) old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup(s) soft butter
1-1/2 teaspoon(s) almond flavoring
1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar
- extra powdered sugar to roll cookies in

Steps:

  • Beat butter till creamy, in a large bowl. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, salt,almond flavoring,and flour. Add the oats and stir. *NOTE: Old fashioned oats or quick oats can be used. I think there is a little bit more flavor with the old time oats.THey are not ground up like the instant oats are.
  • Make balls of dough about 1 inch round and place on a ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 350F oven ..for about 20 minutes.
  • While warm ...roll in powdered sugar. Put cookies on a rack to cool. Then roll again in powdered sugar . Makes about 3 dozen. Enjoy....I know SANTA does! His cookie plate is always empty!!
