Get ready to indulge in these delicious Pistachio Snowball Cookies!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Slowly add the flour, pistachios, and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms.
3. Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. The cookies should be soft and delicate.
5. Coat with powdered sugar: Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then, gently roll them in powdered sugar to coat them. Let them cool completely, and then roll them in powdered sugar again for an extra snowy effect.
6. Serve and enjoy: These cookies are perfect for gifting, enjoying with a hot cup of tea, or simply indulging in for a special treat.

Pistachio Snowball Cookies are sweet, nutty, and perfectly crumbly with that delightful melt-in-your-mouth texture. Would you like to add a hint of citrus zest or maybe some chopped chocolate for an extra twist?
