Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup holiday sprinkles
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
Fold in the finely chopped pecans, mini chocolate chips, and half of the holiday sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough (using a cookie scoop or your hands) and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough has been used, placing the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the snowballs for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once chilled, roll each snowball in the remaining powdered sugar until fully coated.
For a festive touch, place extra holiday sprinkles on top of each snowball, gently pressing them into the coating.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
