Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is very cold before you start creaming it together with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them in powdered sugar. This will help to prevent the sugar from melting.

Conclusion:

Cherry Snowball Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their sweet and tart flavor, Cherry Snowball Cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
