### The Finishing Touch
Once baked, the warm cookies are gently rolled in powdered sugar, creating their signature “snowball” appearance. This step not only gives them a festive look but also adds an irresistible sweetness to every bite. For an extra snowy finish, they’re rolled a second time after cooling.
### Perfect for Any Occasion
While these cookies are often associated with the winter holidays, their delicate flavor and elegant presentation make them perfect year-round. They’re a lovely addition to bridal showers, afternoon teas, and cookie swaps alike. They also make thoughtful homemade gifts—simply tuck them into a decorative tin or box, and you have a heartfelt treat anyone would appreciate.
### Tips for the Best Snowball Cookies
* **Use high-quality butter** for the best flavor and texture.
* **Toast your pecans** beforehand to deepen their flavor.
* Don’t overwork the dough—mix just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
* Roll the cookies in powdered sugar **while still warm**, then again once cooled for a full, snowy coating.
