Cooking & Storage Tips

• If your oven bakes unevenly, rotate the tray halfway through to ensure even heat.
• Coat the cookies with powdered sugar while still warm — it sticks much better.
• Store snowball cookies in an airtight container and enjoy within 2 days. Since they’re coated with powdered sugar, they may absorb moisture and lose texture if left too long.
