Classic, old-fashioned Christmas cookies! You'll love these buttery shortbread treats that are rolled in a blizzard of powdered sugar!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Cookies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond flavor
½ cup sugar
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
Powdered sugar, to coat ((about ½ cup))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter, vanilla, almond flavoring and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix to combine. It will look crumbly at first, but keep mixing until it comes together in a thick dough. Mix in walnuts.
  • Shape dough into balls (about the size of golf balls). Place about 1 inch apart on parchment or silicone-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or just until set and firm to the touch (but not browned). Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, then roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Once cool, roll the cookies in powdered sugar again.

ALMOND SHORTBREADS



Almond Shortbreads image

The word "short" in the recipe title is a promise of melt-in-your mouth tenderness. That's the butter doing its job.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 18 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup raw almonds with skins, plus about 18 whole almonds for decorating
2/3 cup sugar, plus more for top
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (7 ounces, 1 3/4 sticks), softened, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg white, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Blend and pulse the 1/2 cup nuts in a food processor with the sugar until mixture resembles coarse sand. (If there are a couple small chunks of nuts that is fine.) Add the butter, vanilla and almond extracts, and the salt, and pulse until creamy. Add the flour and continue to pulse to make a soft dough.
  • Turn the dough out into a 9-inch tart pan and spread it out evenly with an off-set spatula. Dip the spatula in a little warm water to help smooth and even the surface of the shortbread. Cover and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and dock (prick) the dough all over with a fork. Generously sprinkle the top of the shortbread with sugar. Toss the remaining whole almonds in the egg white; evenly arrange and press the nuts into the dough around the edge of the pan. Bake until golden brown and set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Cool the short bread in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the tart ring and cut the shortbread with a sharp knife into wedges, each with a nut. Cool shortbreads on a rack completely. (Alternatively present the shortbread as 1 large cookie. Cool the shortbread in the pan completely and remove the tart ring. Cut the shortbread into wedges as desired.) Serve. Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.

CHERRY SNOWBALL COOKIES



Cherry Snowball Cookies image

What's better than shortbread cookies? Cherry Snowball Cookies with chocolate chips and maraschino cherries of course! These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are made with plenty of cherry flavor, rolled in powdered sugar, and have such an addicting rich taste yet retain just the right amount of flavorful buttery pecan crunch that they are popularly known for. We love to dip the cookies into a cup of homemade hot chocolate.

Provided by Jessica (swankyrecipes.com)

Categories     Dessert

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1½ cups butter, at room temperature (salted or unsalted works)
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1½ tsp almond extract
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cherry extract or emulsion (see notes)
½ cup maraschino cherries (drained well)
1 cup pecans (finely ground)
4½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1½ cups powdered sugar (dusting)

Steps:

  • Beat butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in salt, almond extract, vanilla extract, and cherry extract (if using)
  • Drain cherry juice. Chop cherries. Remove as much of the liquid as possible with paper towels. Add to bowl and mix.
  • Mix in finely ground pecans.
  • Slowly beat in flour, ½ cup at a time until incorporated. Anywhere from 3½-4½ cups. See tip below.TIP: Based on how much cherry juice is added to the cookie batter, the consistency of the dough may change. To fix this, simply add more flour or add a splash of milk is too much flour is added.
  • Slowly mix in or stir in chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate dough 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will make the dough easier to work with.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 1½ tbsp dough and roll into a round ball. TIP: If using a cookie scoop and the dough is sticky, dip it in a bowl of powdered sugar between each scoop.
  • Place on baking sheet spaced 1-inch apart.
  • Bake in oven 15-17 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Roll cookies in powdered sugar.TIP: I coat mine a second time after they have completely cooled.
  • Store in an air-tight container.
