Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Extra cinnamon and powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually combine this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
- If desired, fold in finely chopped nuts for added texture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden on the bottom.
- While warm, roll each cookie in a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon. Once cooled completely, roll again to achieve the perfect snowy coating.
