Chocolate Snowballs (Cookie Mix)
Wrap up the fun with a chocolate twist on traditional Russian tea cakes. Surprise! There’s chocolate in the center of each cookie.
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
60 Kisses milk chocolates, unwrapped
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1. Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg, flour, cocoa, almonds and extract until soft dough forms.
2. Shape dough into sixty 3/4-inch balls; wrap each around 1 chocolate. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
4. Roll cookies in powered sugar. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Re-roll cookies in powdered sugar. Store tightly covered.
SOMETIME’S I LIKE TO MIX SOME COCOA POWDER WITH THE POWDERED SUGAR AND THEN ROLL THEM. I DO 1/2 POWDERED AND 1/2 CHOC. POWDERED.
