Melt-in-Your-Mouth Confetti Snowball Cookies
A colorful, buttery twist on the classic snowball cookie. These eggless treats are loaded with sprinkles and double-rolled in powdered sugar for a melt-in-your-mouth finish.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (for dough)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup Sprinkles (jimmies recommended)
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add salt and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3. Add one cup of flour to the creamed butter mixture and gently mix everything until just combined.
4. Add in sprinkles and gently fold until combined.
5. Gently knead the mixture using your hands and make a round dough ball.
6. Wrap it tightly in a plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour or until it becomes firm.
7. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Once the dough is chilled, divide it into small 1 inch round balls.
9. Place the shaped dough balls on the lined baking sheet spacing 2 inches apart.
10. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees C (350F).
11. Let them cool for 3-5 minutes before rolling them in powdered sugar.
12. Roll the baked cookies in the powdered sugar while they are still warm.
13. Repeat the process with remaining cookies and allow them to cool completely.
14. Roll them again in the powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Use ‘jimmies’ style sprinkles to prevent color bleeding.
Do not overbake; the bottoms should be barely golden.
The first roll in sugar creates a sticky base, the second roll creates that beautiful snowy white finish.
