Cheddar Cheese Snowball Cookies
Melt in your mouth Cheddar Cheese Snowball Cookies are a fun twist to a traditional favorite. They do not taste cheesy as how they are named, but the cheddar cheese adds texture, richness, and creaminess to the classic snowball cookies.
Servings: cookies
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (150 gr) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (65 gr) confectioners' sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (40 gr) grated cheddar cheese
- 1 3/4 cup (210 gr) all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp (45 gr) cornstarch
- 2 tbsp (16 gr) milk powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Confectioners' sugar, for coating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F/150°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, milk powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter with confectioners' sugar until well combined.
- Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, and grated cheddar cheese into the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Sift in the flour mixture into the mixture and mix with a spatula until well incorporated.
- Scoop out 1 1/2 teaspoons of dough. Roll the dough into balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bottom edges of cookies are lightly browned.
- Cool the cookies slightly until you're able to handle the cookies. Roll in confectioners' sugar when they are still warm and place on a rack to cool completely. When the cookies are completely cooled, roll them again in confectioners' sugar.
Notes
Although cheddar cheese is added to the dough, you will not be able to taste the cheese inside. The amount of cheese is just enough to make the cookies a bit richer and creamier.
