How To Make pistachio snowball cookies

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and nuts.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add vanilla and beat on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes or until the dough is creamy and pale in color. While still beating, add the flour/pistachio mixture, beating just until thoroughly combined.
  • Step 4
    Pinch off pieces of dough and form into 1-inch balls (or use a cookie scoop to shape dough). Place dough balls on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Step 5
