Snowball Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup butter

  softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2/3 cup walnuts

  chopped
• additional powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

• 1 For a full nut flavor, toast walnuts before chopping and adding to the cookie
  dough. You can toast them on the stovetop over medium heat for 2-5 minutes, or
  in a 350 degree oven for 7-10 minutes. Check them often! They can quickly go
  from perfectly toasted to burned, so watch closely.
• 2 Beat butter and sugar together in large mixing bowl. You can use a stand mixer
  or hand mixer.
• 3 Add flour and water alternately to the mixture.
• 4 When combined, add the vanilla extract and toasted nuts.
• 5 Shape the dough into balls, place on a cookie baking sheet covered with
  parchment paper.
• 6 Bake about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• 7 Sift some powdered sugar (also known as confectioners’ sugar) in a pie dish or
  on a cutting board.
• 8 Remove from cookie sheets, and place the baked cookies in the powdered sugar
  directly out of the oven, rolling to coat completely.
• 9 Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
