Gluten Free Vegan Snowball Cookies. Also known as Russian tea cakes, these powdered sugar coated cookies are made with flavorful toasted walnuts. A buttery, simple holiday cookie!Growing up, there were certain cookies that my mom would only make at Christmastime. Raspberry-filled cheese tarts, gingerbread men, monkey cakes, almond crescents and thumbprint cookies {to name a few}. They were all my grandmas recipes and all hold such precious memories for my family and I.

What makes this holiday cookie so irroestiable? It might be that they are a slightly sweet shortbread type of cookie, coated in powdered sugar. Maybe its the abundance of toasted walnuts, which add so much flavorful. I cant pinpoint one single thing, all I know is that Im pretty obsessed with these little snowball cookies.
