Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for dough)
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup Nestle Crunch bars (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and 0.5 cup of powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the finely chopped nuts and the chopped Nestle Crunch bars until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out 1-inch portions of dough and roll them gently into balls between your palms. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the tops do not brown significantly.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly (they should still be warm).
Place 1 cup of powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each warm cookie in the powdered sugar until fully coated. For a thicker powdered sugar coating, repeat the rolling process once the cookies have cooled completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy your Nestle Crunch Snowball Cookies!
