Snowball Cookies

Snowball Cookies are a fun delicious holiday favorite at our house. The best part is the surprise that is waiting for you once you bite into them!

The best part of this snowball cookie is what is inside.  There is a chocolate surprise waiting for you in the shape of a Hershey’s kiss.  These little snowballs are fun to make and very easy.  In fact the hardest part is unwrapping all the chocolate kisses.

Ingredients Needed

• All purpose Flour
• Butter
• Sugar, granulated and powdered sugar
• Walnuts, finely chopped
• Hershey Chocolate Kisses

How to Make Snowball Cookies

• Cream butter and sugar well until smooth.
• Add flour and then walnuts and mix until fully incorporated.
• Gather dough into disk-shape and wrap in plastic.
• Refrigerate at least 1/2 hour.

• Unwrap Hershey kisses.
• Scoop dough into 1 inch balls.

• Flatten dough and insert chocolate candy.

• Wrap candy completely in dough, making sure the chocolate is completely covered.

• Bake at 350 degrees F on ungreased baking sheet until just cooked through, about 12 minutes.
• Allow cookies to cool and then roll in powdered sugar.

These cookies are amazing – very light, buttery and sweet  with lots of chocolate goodness inside.  Who wouldn’t love a little snowball kiss!
