Let’s make Walnut Snowball Cookies<\/h2>\n

These easy walnut snowball cookies are made with walnuts, but pecans or a mix of walnut and pecans are also great.  This kind of holiday cookie is also called Mexican wedding cookies, polvorones and Russian tea cakes. No matter what you call them, these walnut cookies are addictive.<\/p>\n

I would totally say that this walnut snowball cookies recipe is suitable for beginners and it makes the perfect cookie for a small family. If you have a crowd or are making Christmas cookies for gifting, double it<\/p>\n

These are Christmas cookies that do keep well in the freezer, either baked or unbaked, for at least a month. If unbaked, there is no need to thaw them; just add an extra minute or two onto the baking time and you are good to go. If your walnut snowball cookies are already baked, go ahead and roll them in the first round of powdered sugar, then freeze them, and then roll again in powdered sugar after thawing.<\/p>\n
