How to Make Pistachio Lime Snowballs
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer for 30 seconds until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup shelled pistachios (finely chopped) and the zest of 2 limes.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls in a bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of green-colored sanding sugar until evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, gently roll the cookies in additional powdered sugar to coat.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
