Description
These Easy Snowball Cookies are a delightful vegan treat with a tender, buttery texture and a melt-in-your-mouth coating of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vegan butter (unsalted, softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and adjust one of the oven racks to one level higher than the middle position. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened vegan butter, vanilla extract, and ½ cup powdered sugar together for 3 to 4 minutes until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the flour and salt mixture to the creamed vegan butter mixture. Mix well until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop about two tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls. Arrange these on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned and the tops remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, roll each cookie in powdered sugar.
- Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely for about 1 hour.
Notes
- Use a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Do not overmix the dough.
- Ensure cookies cool completely before serving.
