Magic Balls - Snowballs

I learned to make these cookies from a Japanese pastry chef from one of the numerous baking classes that I have attended in Singapore. This is quite a popular cookie in Japan. It has a melt in your mouth texture and you feel good eating it because it containes healthy nuts, almonds.

There are many names to this cookie. Sometimes it's called the Russian tea cakes, which is a common pastry eaten during the middle ages in England. A very popular name for these little cookies though seems to be Mexican Wedding Cake. A celebration cake (still a cookie) that is eaten during weddings. I feel that the round balls coated with a white dusting of icing sugar is perfect for the occasion

I think this is the cookie that is great to have anytime in the house to be served to guests at any time. Or just the kind of cookie that is perfect to be chomped down in an episode of desperate housewives.

There are many versions out there. The main ingredients for these cookies are nuts, butter, sugar, flour and icing sugar. Some use pecan, or walnuts for the "nuts" part. But I use blood-cholesterol-lowering-the-almighty-almonds. It contains potassium, vitamin E, good fats and antioxidants. Another main ingredient is great quality french butter. Creating the most delicious (at least in my opinion) magic balls, a melt-in-your-mouth snowballs cookies.

To order:
Rp 65,000 for about 36-40 cookies (it is quite a big cookie)

I recommend to eat them ASAP as I don't use any preservatives.
