Walnut Snowball Cake

Overview

This slightly ugly-looking snowball comes from Kojima. The original recipe uses pecans, but I used ordinary large walnuts instead. The finished product is very crispy and has crunchy walnut kernels. It is also very suitable for honoring the elders.

3. 3 Cut the butter into 1cm cubes and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. Sift the flour.

5. 5 Pour the chopped walnuts into the butter and flour mixture and press with a spatula to mix evenly.

   

6. 6 Use your hands to form the dough, but don't over-knead it anyway.

   

7. 7 Divide the dough into 12-15g pieces, roll them into balls one by one, and place them on the baking sheet at a certain distance.

   

8. 8 degrees middle level for 20-25 minutes, the specific temperature is adjusted according to your own oven.

   

9. 9 After cooling, sift a layer of powdered sugar. Because the biscuits are not very sweet, you can sift a little more powdered sugar and do not omit it.
