Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup holiday sprinkles
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 2
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 4
Fold in the finely chopped pecans, mini chocolate chips, and half of the holiday sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough (using a cookie scoop or your hands) and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough has been used, placing the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Refrigerate the snowballs for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 7
Once chilled, roll each snowball in the remaining powdered sugar until fully coated.
Step 8
For a festive touch, place extra holiday sprinkles on top of each snowball, gently pressing them into the coating.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
