What Are Snowball Cookies?<\/h2>\n

Snowball cookies are a tender, buttery shortbread-style cookie that\u2019s rolled in powdered sugar. They\u2019re known for their signature round shape and \u201csnowy\u201d finish. You might also know them as Russian Tea Cakes, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Pecan Balls or Butter Balls, or Viennese Crescents (a shaped variation).<\/p>\n

At their core they\u2019re a super simple cookie made with butter, powdered sugar, flour, and chopped nuts. But the magic is in the texture: soft, sandy, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth. They\u2019re also (almost) bite size and perfect for any cookie platter.<\/p>\n
