These Melt-in-Mouth Eggless Snowball Cookies are perfect edible gifts for your loved ones during these Holiday times.
When it comes to baking, I must confess, I am not much of a baker. I am absolutely lazy about putting in all the hard work that goes into baking and creating delicious treats. So I keep looking for shortcuts in baking. Today’s recipe is one easy way to making snowball cookies.
Last year during this time, I was looking in for a quick cookie recipe. I had just an hour in hand since it was my little one’s nap time. So within that time, I had to get the cookies done, from prep to finished product.
I searched, but I couldn’t find anything. Also, I wanted it to be eggless, just because I hated to smell of eggs in most of the cookie recipes. Finally, I came across this delicious Snowball Cookie recipe at the Imperial Sugar website.
I liked the recipe, but I changed it a bit and made my own version of it. The best thing about these Snowball cookies is that they are eggless and are absolutely melt in mouth pure goodness. They get prepared within an hour literally from start to finish.
I have added walnuts to this cookie which make them delectable. The main ingredient in these cookies that make them extremely tempting is the use of Ice cream essence. I absolutely love using ice cream essence in baking. It gives a sweetish liquorish aroma to any food that it is added to. You can get hold of this sweet potion at any Indian Grocery store.
