Peanut Butter Snowball Cookies Recipe
Description
This cookie recipe combines softened butter and smooth peanut butter to form a creamy base, which is mixed with powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until a firm dough forms. The dough is chilled for a couple of hours to firm up, then shaped into tablespoon-sized balls and rolled in powdered sugar to create a snowy coating.
The graham cracker crumbs add subtle texture and sweetness that complements the peanut butter’s richness. Chilling the dough before shaping helps prevent spreading and keeps the cookies tender. The powdered sugar coating provides an additional sweet contrast and a delicate appearance reminiscent of snowballs.
These cookies keep well refrigerated and are convenient for snacking or sharing. Variations on the cookie crumbs can include vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits if graham crackers are unavailable.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4 oz/115g) butter at room temperature
- 1 cup (8oz/225g) peanut butter smooth
- 1/2 cup (2oz/57g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (3oz/85g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (1oz/28g) powdered sugar for rolling
Notes
- Use vanilla wafers, digestive biscuits, or rich tea cookies as alternatives to graham cracker crumbs if needed.
- Ensure butter is softened enough to mix smoothly with peanut butter for the desired dough texture.
- Chill the dough thoroughly before shaping to keep cookie shape and texture.
- Store finished cookies refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
