I love these buttery, nutty cookies. Mom’s Pecan Butternut Snowball Cookies are little balls of buttery shortbread, packed with pecans, with a powdered sugar coating that melt-in-your-mouth!

At Sedona Sweet Arts Bakery we made Mom’s Butternut Pecan Snowball Cookies all year long! This is the recipe handed down by Mom.

They are super quick to make and delicious. We always had Snowball cookies during the holidays. Snowball cookies are also known as Pecan Butternut Snowball Cookies, Pecan Meltaways, Russian Tea Cakes, Italian Wedding cookies, butter balls, Pecan Snowball Cookies and Mexican Wedding Cookies.
