Description
These Vegan Snowball Cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional buttery holiday treat, completely dairy-free yet just as tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Made with vegan butter, powdered sugar, and finely chopped pecans, they offer a rich, nutty flavor and a delicate crumb. Each cookie is rolled twice in powdered sugar, creating that iconic snowy look perfect for Christmas cookie trays or winter dessert spreads.
