The only snowball fights that occur in Savannah are over the last one of these cookies. Savannah Snowballs are a vintage shortbread cookie recipe from our archives. Similar to a Russian Tea Cake or a Mexican Wedding Cookie, Savannah Snowballs have been a customer favorite for generations.
Las únicas peleas de bolas de nieve que ocurren en Savannah son acerca de quien se comerá la última de estas galletas.

Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups finely chopped pecans
- For Dusting: Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Directions
- Form Dough: Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually beat in flour to form a soft dough, then stir in pecans.
- Roll dough into small 1-inch bails and place about 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in center of a preheated 325°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until very light browned.
- Dust with sugar: Cool cookies on baking sheet about 1 minute, then loosen with a spatula and carefully toss in a bag of confectioners sugar until well coated. Cool thoroughly on a rack, then store in a single layer in an airtight container.
- Sift additional confectioners sugar over tops of cookies at serving time if needed.

I like how the pecans are in larger (but still small) pieces in this cookie. Sometimes snowball cookies require you to grind the pecans too finely. I also prefer the granulated sugar versions over the powdered sugar versions. This is my go-to snowball cookie recipe.
