I make a similar cookie that is called a “Cacoon.” The recipe I use is over 40 years old so I don’t know where it came from. The difference in my cookies is there is no sugar in the actual cookie and I use a couple of tbl. of ice water to mix. You have to mix mine by hand, no spoons will get it done. Then after they are baked they are rolled in powdered sugar.

Glad you like ‘em! It’s interesting about the timing – I find ours are solid & cool in 5 min. – we’ve even pushed it to 3. Never had them break – the hazard of them being too hot, in my experience, is that the sugar melts on them so there’s not the desired snowball effect . . . happy you got it to work for you!

I made these yesterday with my preschooler and they are splendid. It took a good ten minutes for them to cool enough to be rolled in sugar. After 5 minutes they crumbled in the sugar and we just had to eat them immediately. It was tragic.

These are gorgeous and so delicious! My mom makes a version of these cookies too. I’m not sure where she got her recipe, but she calls hers Butterballs. (A fitting name, I suppose! )

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, Megan! Let me know how they turn out if you whip ‘em up. And yes, this is the time of year when I start buying butter by the armful at Costco. Really!

Hmmm… cookies it must be in the air…. I have just recently started my holiday baking and may have to add these sweet morsels to that repertoire…. I am going to need a lot more butter!
