I was not a big holiday baking person until I met my husband and his mom. My now Mother-in-law is a big baker and I have learned a lot of great recipes and traditions from her over the last 10 years. One of my favorite holiday baking tradition that I got from her and my husband loves is baking Pecan Snowball Cookies. Amazing butter cookies that are covered in powdered sugar! YUM!
Holiday Baking and Holiday preparations have begun in our home. The Pecan Snowball Cookies were first on my TO BAKE list for a bake sale at our church. I know that these yummy morsels will be a hit! In “one stop shopping fashion” I picked up Christmas wrapping paper, dinner and Land O’ Lakes Butter sticks for my Pecan Snowball Cookies at Walmart on my way home from work. Not only are these cookies really great to eat but they are really great to bring to any holiday party you are invited too. They can be made in about 40 minutes too! Everyone needs a good baking recipe for the holidays that is easy!
Here is how you make these super yummy, perfect for the holidays Pecan Snowball Cookies! Enjoy!
