Buttery, crumbly, and dusted in powdered sugar snowdrifts - these are not your grandmother's snowball cookies. Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero weaves a smoky-sweet heat through every bite, turning a beloved classic into something wonderfully unexpected. Bake a batch for your next holiday cookie swap and watch them disappear.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup and 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero blend
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Beat butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
- Gradually mix in flour, Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero, pecans, and salt until completely incorporated.
- Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven until bottoms are light golden brown but tops are still pale, around 12 to 15 minutes. (Try not to let cookies get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them.)
- Remove cookies from the oven and let sit on the baking sheets briefly before removing to wire racks.
- Place 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a shallow bowl; roll hot cookies in sugar to coat, then return to the wire racks to cool.
- Once cooled, roll cookies in the powdered sugar once more and enjoy!
