Thanks Mary.
Awesome Wendy!
I have been following your recipes and the ones I have tried are all a bit with my family. Thank you 😊
Request you suggest an alternative for Pecan as it's not easily available in India. Thanks
I would recommend using walnuts or almonds or hazelnuts.
I've been making these cookies for decades as the favorite Christmas cookie in our family. My recipe is pretty much the same but I have a couple of differences in how I do them. First, I do use my mixer to ensure I beat the butter with the vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy. I mix the flour and salt next until fully incorporated but not over worked, then stir in the chopped nuts just until they are mixed throughout the dough. I use a cookie scoop to form the cookies, but avoid packing them tight - I used to roll them by hand, but found they came out too dense, not light. I started getting best results when I avoided over handling the dough. My mom made these every year when I was a girl, and to me these cookies are what Christmas tastes like
I'm glad you enjoy your family tradition!
What about the measurements of the ingredients
What are the measurements of the ingredients please.

@@GoanCanadian2020
two sticks butter at room temperature
1/2 Tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup sifted, powdered sugar
Cream the butter and vanilla then add the sugar
2 cups (240 gm) sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Use a 1 Tablespoon sized cookie scoop to form the cookies. Bake at 350 about 15-20 minutes. Watch the bottoms of the cookies to be golden brown and the tops light tan. If you look for the tops to get golden they could get over baked.
This recipe will make about 3 to 3 1/2 dozen cookies and is easily doubled if you want more. I hope this works well for you. 🤶🎄

I have a recipe that I love and they are delicious but I only make them sparingly because my recipe is extremely tedious. Your way is definitely so much easier. I am going to try your recipe and hope for the best. I will let you know the outcome. 😬
Glad you like them!
Would it be good enough to do the balls with almonds?
Yes
Woww such a beautiful recipe ❤Wendy ❤ can't wait to try these 😊 can I substitute pecans for almonds or cashew?
Yes you can!
Can pecans be substituted with any other nuts
Yes definitely
Can you substitute with almonds ?
Yes
Can I use walnuts instead of pecans
Yes definitely
Supermam❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks delicious, can you please let me know the weight of each snowball, thanks Connie
I do not weigh each cookie.
She made 19 cookies
Why do we need to dust them twice with icing sugar
To ensure that perfect look of a snowball.
The first powdering while they are warm melts the sugar onto the cookie, they are a little sticky then. Allow them to cool completely and then powder them one more time. The 2nd powdering will hold to the cookie but stay light and powdery.
Thanks for sharing your mouthwatering recipes with us. Also love your deco and colours. Most wonderful Time of this year. Pecan balls are one of my fav..forever love and blessings for this amazing time. 😊🎉❤
Thank you so much Caroline.
