Cómo preparar Cherry Snowballs

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Drain candied cherries very well on paper towels to remove excess syrup.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Gently press a candied cherry into the center of each ball.
  8. Place the Cherry Snowballs onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheets.
  11. While still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar. Once completely cool, roll in powdered sugar again for an extra layer of sweetness.
