How to Make Almond Snowball Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg whites one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the almonds.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, roll the cookies in powdered sugar while they are still warm. This helps the sugar stick and create that signature snowball effect.
