Here is another sweet recipe for cold, winter evenings at home. These snowballs are surprisingly tasty, sweet, orange, crunchy cookies which will be a good match for hot tea/cocoa, blanket aaand book or dreams ;)
Also, if you're running out of time, they're very easy and quick to make which gives them another big +.
Sprinkled with powdered sugar or glucose, look like a snowball on a table :) And children will love them! Just make sure they're not using them as snowballs ;)

There original recipe is here, though I've made quite a lot of changes, such as replacing butter with margarine which I tend to do very often recently.
Ingredients:
- 250g of margarine
- 100g of powdered sugar (+ more to sprinkle the cookies)
- 1 teaspoon of orange extract
- 100g of chopped walnuts
- 100g of candied orange skin
- 375g of flour
Preparation:
- Prepare a baking tray and put baking paper all over it.
- Start preheating the oven to 180C.
- Take a mixer and its bowl. Put margarine and powdered sugar inside and beat till bright and fluffy (around 10 minutes).
- Add orange extract, walnuts, candied orange skin and mix till well combined.
- Add flour and mix (or knead) again till well combined.
- Start making balls (around 2 teaspoons of dough for 1 ball) and place on previously prepared baking tray (they might be placed close to each other as they won't grow).
- If the oven is ready, bake for 10-15 minutes till golden brown.
- Cool down on a wire rack.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Bon Appetit!
