Let stand on cookie sheet about 2 minutes, then gently roll each one gently in powdered sugar. Let cookies cool. - - Once they cool (15-20 minutes), roll again (gently) in powdered sugar. Store loosely covered.
#To_Toast_Nuts: - - Place on ungreased baking pan and bake at 350Β° F for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye so they don't burn. Cool, then chop.

Iβm sure there is more than one way to freeze these delicate Christmas snowball cookies but here is how I did mine: - - Once they were completely cool and after the second roll in powdered sugar I gently placed them in a freezer bag so they were not touching.
I removed as much air as possible from the bag and placed them gently in the freezer. - - To thaw I let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then brought them to room temperature. - Then I gently rolled them in - - powdered sugar again to freshen them up. - So there it is. This is how you can freeze your homemade pecan & almond balls. - Recipe by Jenny Jones
