They&rsquo;re not too sweet, and they absolutely melt in your mouth. This recipe makes 1 dozen cookies, but it can be doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-14.jpg\" alt=\"Horizontal image of one dozen fluffy white almond snowball cookies on an oval plate.\" class=\"wp-image-80732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-14.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-14-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-14-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-14-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re paying close attention, these are dangerously similar to my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/mexican-wedding-cookies\/\">Mexican Wedding Cookies<\/a><\/span>. The only thing I change about the recipe is the nuts and a dash of almond extract. But the thing is, the original recipe makes cookies that are so meltingly tender, there is no reason to steer too far off course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I brought an extra batch of these almond snowball cookies to the ice rink last week, and left them in the girls locker room with a note that said &lsquo;contains almonds&rsquo; on top. They were gone so quickly, and the parents were asking for more. My recipe makes just 1 dozen cookies, but because it doesn&rsquo;t contain eggs, it&rsquo;s easy to double or triple this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. One stick (113 grams) of unsalted butter that you have softened at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong>. One-third cup (65 grams) of granulated sugar. Yes, this doesn&rsquo;t seem like much sugar, but this recipe only makes 1 dozen cookies. Plus, we&rsquo;re rolling the cookies in powdered sugar after baking to add more sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. One full teaspoon of real vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almond Extract<\/strong>. A very small amount (1\/2 teaspoon) of almond extract brings so much flavor to the cookie dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. One cup (125 grams) of all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. One-eighth teaspoon of salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sliced Almonds<\/strong>. Grab a bag of sliced almonds from the store, and then toast them in a dry skillet until they&rsquo;re just starting to turn golden brown and they smell very nutty and fragrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered Sugar<\/strong>. We&rsquo;ll roll the freshly baked almond snowball cookies in 1\/2 cup (60 grams) of powdered sugar when they&rsquo;re still warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-almond-snowball-cookies-tutorial\">Almond Snowball Cookies Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies.jpg\" alt=\"Pretty porcelain bowl with chopped butter, sugar and vanilla.\" class=\"wp-image-80733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-6.jpg\" alt=\"Porcelain bowl with pale yellow fluffy batter and flour sprinkled on top.\" class=\"wp-image-80734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-6.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-6-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-6-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Almond-Snowball-Cookies-6-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>First, beat together the softened butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract.
