Snowball Cookies

Hello Dear Friends,

Heavy snowfall continues in Istanbul. We were at home because of the snowfall at the weekend. We watched the series and hung around. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good after a busy and tiring year. Since both workplaces and schools are on holiday, I wanted to share a recipe that can be made at home with children.

While I am writing these lines, it is still cooking in the oven :) A very delicious recipe with few ingredients. Snowball Cookies :) The main ingredients are butter, starch, powdered sugar. The remaining flavor, whether lemon or orange, is entirely up to you.

As you know, the dough for chip cookies is a little hard. You can't weigh it, your glass size doesn't fit, the flour is too much, if you can't gather the dough, you can add a little more, eg 1-2 teaspoons of butter, while kneading. So you will see that it recovers very quickly.

We do not use baking powder in the snowball cookie recipe, but since the cookies swell, deformities may occur if there are no knees with 3-4 cm intervals when laying them on the baking tray.

Love…
