Gingerbread Snowball Cookies

There is one thing I love about the holiday season and it’s helping people. I’ve always loved the angel trees, the fill a shoe box program, and adopting a family–and wait for those to pop up all over the city when Christmas time comes. In addition to this delicious recipe I’m sharing today, I’m also sharing a way you can help the California wildfires and hurricane victims in Texas and Florida.

Real California Milk has started a wonderful campaign called The Seals for Good. The Seals for Good is donating $5 to the Great American Milk Drive To find out more about The Seals for Good campaign click here. This wonderful program was started by Real California Milk, and will be donating $5 every time a photo is shared with the with the hashtag #SealsForGood. This is such an easy way to help others, and you can continue to do this through December 31st, 2017. So let’s start baking and sharing our pictures to help those in need!

I don’t remember the first time I had snowball cookies, but I instantly fell in love. They are a simple cookie that takes very little time to prepare, but the end results are just delicious. They aren’t your typical cookie, these have no eggs, baking soda, or baking powder. You simple roll flour, powdered sugar, and butter into a ball and cook.

Every year I add something to mine that makes them a little different then the rest. Typically people add nuts, but since I am allergic I omit them and add other delicious items. I’ve made them with chocolate chips and craisins, craisins and orange zest, and pumpkin spice. I wanted something more “Christmasy” so gingerbread it was. These scream gingerbread to me without having to roll, cut, and decorate the gingerbread.

Gingerbread Snowball Cookies- Yields 2 Dozen

1 Cup of Butter— Make it Real California Milk to help The Seals for Good Campaign
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
2 Teaspoons of Vanilla
2 1/4 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon of Ginger
2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon of Cloves

1. Preheat oven to 375F, prepare a sheet pan with wax paper.
2. Mix butter, powdered sugar (1/2 cup), and vanilla until there are no more lumps.
3. Mix flour into the wet ingredients until all combined.
4. Roll 1 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Place in oven and baked for 8 minutes.
5. Let cool for 5 minutes (or until cool to touch) and roll in the leftover 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.



Remember when making them to snap a picture and share for The Seals for Good campaign!

A little story behind this picture. 📸 I asked m A little story behind this picture. 📸 I asked my son to take a picture of me and my daughter, he took ONE picture. When I asked him why he only took one picture he said well you said “A picture” and plus you look happy in this one. 💓 I am almost one year postpartum, when I saw the picture I quickly was disgusted with my deflated boobs, and just overall didn’t like it. After his comment though, my thoughts changed. I just had fun playing in the pool with the kids, and the deflated boobs I saw—they provided for my three sweet babies. My life changed when I had this sweet girl, I can’t explain it—but I want her to love her body. I want her to like the picture that her brother took because she looked happy. It’s so important that we teach our children to love themselves the way they were made. 💓
