I always use self rising flour in all things that call for flour. It always turns out great. Self rising flour already has the riser agents in it. Both grandmothers and mother used it

Can one store the the Butter Pecan Snowball cookies for a week or two and how would that be done.
Thank you.

I would freeze them at that point. Let them cool completely after rolling in powdered sugar and carefully wrap in a freezer bag and then put the bag in a freezer Ziploc container. Before thawing remove from everything so that condensation does not get to the cookies. Happy baking and thanks for stopping by.

The buttery Pecan Snowball Cookie looks so delicious. I am planning to use it for a Christmas cookie!

Awesome! They are a little crumbly because they are a shortbread so you will need to work the dough into the balls using the warmth of your hands! Happy Baking!!

A friend sent me the recipe. I think I have everything in the kitchen. May try them this morning ?

Sounds like a plan. It is stiff dough so you have to work it with the warmth of your hands to roll it into balls! They are so delicious! Happy baking!!
