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