Nana's Italian Snowballs image

I bake these cookies in my Mother In Law's kitchen where I now reside since I married my hubby. Its an old Family recipe. I can still hear her say "what are you burning!@?" and I laugh out loud a little bit every time I think of it.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tsp vanilla
10 Tbsp granulated sugar
4 c flour
1 tsp salt
4 stick butter
4 c chopped nuts
1 box powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Place butter in mixer and mix until soft.
  • 2. Gradually add sifted flower, salt and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
  • 3. Add vanilla and chopped nuts until evenly mixed. (nuts are optional)
  • 4. Roll in balls or use a cookie scoop to place on ungreased cookie sheet. (Mix will be a bit sticky, not doughy, you can coat your hands with butter if you're rolling them so that they don't stick to your fingers.) These cookies do not expand a whole lot and thus they only need to be about 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
  • 6. Allow cookies to cool completely. (They will fall apart if you try to touch them before they are cool)
  • 7. Once cookies are cool, roll them in powdered sugar and enjoy!

These were so easy to make and they turned out so cute! I used a mini muffin tin and they were the perfect size for a party.

I'm not a huge fan of Italian snowballs, but these were actually pretty good. I think the key is to use a good quality ricotta cheese.

These were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll add some more milk to the batter.

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the glaze.

These were really good! I used a different glaze recipe, but the snowballs themselves were perfect.

I've made these snowballs several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and they're always a hit.

These were a disaster! The batter was too thick and the snowballs didn't cook evenly. I ended up throwing them away.
