Does anybody know the recipe for the snow cookies made in public school lunchrooms?

Question

it has powdered sugar on the surface and I used to love getting them in elementary school and I can't seem to find the recipe on the net.

Answer 1

I wonder if ti's these? They have a myriad of names (Mexican Wedding Cookies, Cocoons, Pecan Delights, Pecan Daintys, Pecan Meltaways... Could they also be Snow Cookies?!)


Juanita’s Pecan Delights

1 cup margarine (no water added) or butter
½ sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. water, if needed

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Add water only if needed to help hold dough together. Shape cookies like dates. Arrange on a greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 300ºF oven for 30-35 minutes or until light brown. While hot, roll in powdered sugar and allow to cool.

Answer 2

Almond Snow Cookies

Makes about 132

1-1/4 cup soft butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/8 teaspoon LorAnn almond oil or 2 to 3 tsp. almond extract
1 cup finely ground blanched almonds
3-1/2 cups sifted flour
Confectioners' sugar

Cream shortening, butter and granulated sugar; add eggs and beat until light. Mix in almond oil and ground almonds. Add flour to creamed mixture and mix thoroughly. Chill dough or not.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 F. Scoop dough into small balls (I use a 1-1/4" ice cream type scoop) and place on ungreased baking sheets about 2" apart. Slightly flatten top with a dampened cloth-covered glass. Bake until set but not brown, about 14-16 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar over cookies as soon as you take them out of the oven. Cool on cookie sheet. When thoroughly cool, but not cold enough to stick to cookie sheet, remove cookies from cookie sheet and roll in additional confectioners' sugar.
