This is the perfect snow day cookie recipe. These chocolate chip pecan snowballs are crispy on the outside… and the insides melt in your mouth. I even made a video to show you how easy they are to make!

You’ll need: 1 cup salted butter (softened) 3/4 cup powered sugar (plus an additional 1 cup for coating the cookies after they are baked) 1 tsp vanilla 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 3/4 cup chopped pecans (toasted ... on a cookie sheet at 350 for 5 minutes) 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup powered sugar (plus an additional 1 cup for coating the cookies after they are cooked) 1 tsp vanilla 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 3/4 cup chopped pecans (toasted) 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
And here's a video showing you how to put them together...
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2) Mix butter and 3/4 cup icing sugar with a hand mixer (on medium for about 1 minute)... just until light and fluffy.
3) Stir in vanilla and almond extract.
4) Add 1 3/4 cups of flour and mix on low (just until incorporated).
5) Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.
6) Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes.
7) Remove from fridge, and roll dough into 1 tbsp balls. Bake on parchment lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
8) As soon as cookies are cool enough to touch (but still warm), roll the cookies in powdered sugar.
9) Allow to cool completely, and sift another layer of powered sugar to the top.
These cookies are soooooo good with a warm mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate!!!
If you give them a try, let me know what you think!
