Powdered Sugar Coated Cookies
With Pumpkin Spice
Bake a batch of pumpkin spice snowball cookies, when you want a powdered sugar coated cookie that is perfect for fall.
The spiced cookie is flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, so it will pair perfectly with a pumpkin spice latte or mug of hot cocoa.
If you have kids who like to help in the kitchen, these cookies are great for a family baking activity.
Children will enjoy rolling the cookie dough into balls, but coating the cookies with confectioners sugar may be the most fun.
This is a great cookie to keep on hand to serve to unexpected guests or you can package them up to give as gifts.
You could wrap up a dozen of these cookies or include with others, if you prefer gifting a variety.
Of course, you can also just share them with your own family at home.
