How to Make Snowball Cookies Easy Bake Oven Recipe


Ingredients

  • 6 teaspoons butter, softened
  • 3 teaspoons confectioners sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Dash of salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
  • Extra confectioners sugar for rolling

Yield

This recipe yields approximately 10-12 cookies.


The Light Bulb Oven: The original models used a 100-watt incandescent light bulb as the heat source, which could reach temperatures of around 350°F – similar to a real oven!

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a small mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add Vanilla and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and a dash of salt, mixing until well combined.
  3. Mix in Walnuts: Gently fold in the finely chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in confectioners sugar to give them a light coating.

Baking Instructions for Snowball Cookies

For the Classic Easy-Bake Oven (Light Bulb Model)

  1. Grease the Pan: Lightly grease your Easy-Bake Oven pan to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. Arrange and Flatten: Place 3 cookie dough balls on the pan, leaving a bit of space between each one. Use a fork to flatten each cookie slightly.
  3. Bake: Preheat the Easy-Bake Oven for 10 minutes. Bake the cookies for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until they begin to lightly brown at the edges.
  4. Cool and Roll: Once baked, let the cookies cool for a few minutes. Roll the warm cookies in additional confectioners sugar for a snowy finish.

For the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven (Electric Model)

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven for 20 minutes. Lightly grease the baking pan.
  2. Arrange and Bake: Place 3 cookie dough balls in the pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  3. Finish with Sugar: Let the cookies cool briefly, then roll them in confectioners sugar to create the classic snowball effect.

Tips for Perfect Snowball Cookies

  • Chill the Dough: If your dough feels too soft to shape, you can refrigerate it for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  • Alternative Coating: For an extra festive look, mix a tiny pinch of edible glitter with the powdered sugar before rolling.
