- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3-5 drops of yellow food coloring
- 1cup and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
For Snowball Cookies:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Tips:
- Use ingredients at room temperature.
- After the mixture is ready keep it in refrigerator for 15 minutes so that it becomes easy to manage but if it still sticks to the hand lightly grease your hands with butter.
- Try to keep the size of the dough balls same, using 1 tbsp spoon, so that each of them takes same time to bake.
- Baking time depends on the kind of oven you are using so keep an eye on the cookies after 10 minutes. They can easily get overbaked and very hard to bite.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
- Mix all the wet ingredients in a big bowl with a whisk.
- Sieve and fold in the dry ingredients slowly.
- Prepare a baking tray by lining it with a parchment paper baking sheet.
- Arrange the dough balls on the baking tray about 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool and keep aside to cool.
- When cookies are slightly warm roll them in the powdered sugar to make them into snowball cookies.
- Cool them in the refrigerator and dip them in powdered sugar again so that the sugar sticks to the cookie and enjoy.
