How to Make Amaretto Snowballs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 2 cups of powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of amaretto extract (or 1-2 tablespoons of amaretto liqueur, to taste).
- Roll the dough into small balls, slightly less than 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, roll the snowballs in additional powdered sugar to coat generously.
