This recipe makes excellent snowball cookies exactly as written. Loved by all who tried them and sure to become a regular in our Christmas cookie rotation.
While this recipe produced very nice not too sweet cookies something is not right with the directions. I halved the recipe and got about 32 1" cookies (used a cookie scoop). I have no idea how you can only get two dozen 1" cookies using the entire recipe. I also baked the cookies for much less time than stated about 10-12 minutes in a 350 degree F oven 20 minutes they would have been burned. I realize all ovens cook a little different but I can't help but wonder if the recipe got messed up when Allrecipes posted it. Otherwise this is a great recipe for a great cookie.
Made as directed with pecans. Bland tasting. Would recommend using almond extract vs. vanilla. Recipe made 48 cookies. Similar recipe using cream cheese better.
These were a huge hit! I was scrolling through cookie recipes just getting my Christmas ideas and came across these delectable delights. My only problem was I had no vanilla! Panic ensued me as I really wanted these at that moment. So I got in my cupboard and saw that I had Almond Extract. Oh! Y-U-M-me! I threw in some pecans and made these. I needed more sugar though and about an extra half tsp. of the Almond Extract. I baked them for about 15-18 minutes. This recipe made over 40 snowballs. I can't wait to try these with Vanilla!
On my family these are known as Pecan Puffs and are a traditional Christmas cookie. I make them every year.
These are yummy and also easy to make. I will be making these often, and also for a Christmas cookie exchange. Does anyone know why lately on here whenever there's a recipe with eggs, it repeats eggs a couple of times. Just wondering, it's not important to this recipe. It is a stand alone goodie.
My husband loves these. Easy and tasty recipe!
This recipe was delicious! Instead of shortening I used peanut oil and instead of white sugar I used confectioner's sugar. They turned out great! I will be making these again for the holidays! Pianogirl5
