What are Snowball Cookies?
Snowball Cookies are a mixture of a few ingredients. The ingredients are formed into a ball, baked and add a dusting of sugar they make snowballs. These are very similar to cake balls that are then rolled in the powdered sugar. This gives the appearance of snowballs when piled together.
Can I Add Pecans to Snowballs?
You can add chopped pecans to these snowballs. You can add the chopped pecans to the inside of the ball before it is baked. I recommend chopping the pecans into very small pieces.

I made these cookies today. While baking they spread out. Any idea why they didn’t stay in a ball like yours? That being said they were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be making these again.
