Jam-Filled Snowball Chirstmas Cookies

Merry Christmas! Today I am sharing my favorite Christmas cookie recipe: jam-filled snowball cookies! You may remember my “snowball surprise cookies” that have a chocolately surprise in the middle, but I prefer to fill them with jam. My favorite jam to use is strawberry – yum! These snowball cookies are buttery and flaky, with a few pecans to give them a little crunch. Roll them twice in powdered sugar for a sweet coating.

I wish you and your families and friends a very Merry Christmas!!

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
• 1 and ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon milk
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ cup strawberry jam

Instructions

1. Cream together softened butter and powdered sugar in a standalone mixer on medium speed, then add the vanilla.
2. Whisk flour and salt in a separate bowl, and add slowly to mixer.
3. Once blended, add the milk.
