Snowball Cookies

Buttery, crushed pecans and powdered sugar make Snowball Cookies the perfect bite size treat!Hey everyone!  Thanks for checking out my blog Ink Foods (IN NANNYS KITCHEN) where I will take you through a journey of the most incredible desserts, some new, some old and some of my Nanny’s original recipes!  One of my favorite cookies that I have grown up baking and eating is Kipfels.

Snowball Cookies, also known as  Kipfels in our family, are a cookie that my family is familiar with because we love to make them and LOVE to eat them. For every holiday we have Snowball Cookies on the table so I have decided to make this my first recipe to share with all of you!   These cookies are a melt in your mouth butter cookie that is loaded with pecans and dusted with powdered sugar.  A lot of you may be familiar with these cookies, because they are served in many different cultures; Kipfel is the Italian name,  Mexican wedding cookies, Russian Tea Cakes and many more!  I hope you all enjoy and come back to see where this new journey takes me!

ENJOY…they will go fast
