Snowball Cookies

To make fluffy cookies, take chicken yolk, wheat flour, butter or margarine, and powdered sugar. With the given amount of ingredients, you'll get 16 small cookies.

Take the butter out of the fridge a few hours before preparing to soften it. Cut it into small slices. Measure 50g of powdered sugar from the total amount and sift it into a mixing bowl. Add the butter slices.

Take a spoon and rub both ingredients together until they form a homogeneous sugar-butter mixture.

Add the chicken yolk and continue rubbing until it becomes smooth and homogeneous.

Add sifted wheat flour. Start working with a spoon. Then knead the dough with your hands.

Form a long rope from the resulting dough.

Cut into 15-16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball the size of a walnut. Send the board with the blanks to the refrigerator for 30 minutes, so that the finished Snegiri cookies turn out to be more crumbly.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Quickly transfer the blanks. Bake at a temperature of 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes until done. Baking time depends on the power of the oven. Use your own technique as a guide. The finished cookies should remain light in color.

Remove the baked goods from the oven and immediately dip them in the remaining powdered sugar.

Snowflake cookies are ready. Cool them and serve them on a sweet table. Enjoy a delightful tea time and a delicious New Year!
