Ken’s Fabulous Snowballs
1 cup
unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup
Confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp.
Vanilla
1/2 cup
very finely chopped hazelnuts
1 cup
chopped White chocolate chips
1/4 tsp.
Baking powder
2 1/4
cups white flour
1 cup
Confectioners’ sugar
Heat the
oven to 400 degrees. Whip butter, sugar and vanilla
together until fluffy. Add hazelnuts and white
chocolate chips.
In a
separate bowl mix flour and baking powder together.
Add the flour to the butter mixture and combine
thoroughly. The cookie dough may appear crumbly,
which is ok.
Form
dough into 2” balls. Arrange on a cookie sheet lined
with parchment. Cookies do not spread.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until well set but not
brown.
While
still warm roll in confectioners’ sugar. Cool and
roll in confectioners’ sugar again.
Make two
dozen 2” snowballs.
