Description

White chocolate and winter citrus scent these addictive snowball cookies!


Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup + 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • zest of 1 orange
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, almond meal and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 3/4 cup powdered sugar until fluffy about 3-4 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract and citrus zests. Gradually blend in flour on low speed. Stir in chopped white chocolate just until combined.
  4. Shape dough into scant 1-inch balls, placing cookies 2-inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies are set and are very lightly browned around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
