Snowball Surprise Cookies
It snowed for the first time a couple of weeks ago here in Utah and we celebrated the arrival by making Snowball Surprise Cookies.
I have had this cookbook since I was a little girl. The Eggnog has nothing to do with the recipe-I just wanted you all to know this is the best Eggnog I have had in my life and it’s organic….awesome-ness.
Back to the cookies. These are really quite simple to make and my girls love putting “surprises” inside, rolling them around in the powdered sugar and eating them with a cup of hot cocoa after playing outside in the snow.
Ingredients:
3/4 organic unsalted butter
1/2 cup organic sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 organic egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup organic flour
Candy
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a mixing bowl beat butter till soft, add sugar and salt and beat until fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla, mix well.
4. With mixer on low add flour gradually.
5. Shape dough into balls, press thumb in to place the candy in.
6. Place the “surprise” in the indentation- the candy or marshmallows or raisins.
7. Shape back into a ball.
8. Roll in powdered sugar.
9. Bake in 350 oven for 10-12 mins or until edges are golden.
10. Cool and eat to celebrate the snow!
If you already missed making these for the first snowfall near you, be sure to make them next time. The kiddos sure have fun with these and they taste pretty good too 
My daughter would love these! If only for the element of surprise!
How yummy!!! I totally want to make these with my kids! They’d love it! And the ingredients are things we generally always have around home, minus the candy but that’s an easy fix. Do you think they would work with whole wheat flour? I don’t keep white flour in my house anymore (I don’t bake much, though).
We just got snow! OOH!
WOW, Vanessa! We just made these with my Grandma & they were SOOOOOOOOO yummy!! Our batch made about a 1.5 dozen cookies. The kids had so much fun. We made them with white flour. Thanks for the great recipe! We’ll be making them again and again!
These look great! Aiden would love them! I just bought egg nog tonight. We are having popcorn and egg nog for dinner while daddy is at a class. Don’t tell.
