Tips and tricks:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients and equipment. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to grate and will result in a more crumbly and tender texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in a tough dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to handle and will prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough into small balls: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them in powdered sugar. This will help prevent the sugar from melting.

Conclusion:

Luscious Lemon Snowballs are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a tender, crumbly texture and a bright, citrusy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit. They are also relatively easy to make, making them a great option for bakers of all skill levels.
