Ingredients:  
½ lb unsalted butter, soft, room temp
½ cup powdered sugar+1½ cups for rolling
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp fine salt, use fine sea salt
1 cup almond flour, or fine almond meal
½ Tbsp orange zest, 1 medium orange


Preheat oven to 400°. Line 2 regular cookie sheets with parchment paper.

How to Make Snowball Cookies:
In bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, cream together ½ lb butter, ½ cup powdered sugar & 1 tsp vanilla, until smooth.

Switch to paddle attachment; gradually mix in 2 cups all purpose flour and ½ tsp salt. Once incorporated, add 1 cup almond meal and ½ Tbsp orange zest and mix until well blended. The dough will stick slightly to the spatula but not to finger tips. If very sticky, add 1-2 Tbsp more flour.

Shape dough into 1" balls. Place them on prepared baking sheet 1" apart. You should get 38-40 cookies. Don't make them too large or they won't bake through properly. Bake 11-13 min, or until bottoms are golden and edges are barely golden (I bake 11 min for softer cookies). Remove from baking sheet; cool 5 min.

Fill a bowl with powdered sugar; roll cookies while still warm (not hot). Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.

Once cookies are at room temp, roll in powdered sugar again or dust the tops with a mini sieve for a snowy look.
