✨ MAGIC SNOW COOKIES

For winter witches who bake their feelings directly into the dough.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup confectioners’ sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup very finely chopped pecans

¼ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup confectioners’ sugar (for rolling), more as needed

Optional Add-Ins:

Lavender – for peace, calm, quieting the chaos

Rose petals – for love, affection, warmth in cold seasons

Chamomile or cardamom – for luck, protection, or “please let today go right for once”

🧁 Instructions:

Cream the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar together until the mixture looks light and kind of smug. Add the vanilla and mix again.

Add flour, salt, and pecans and combine until the dough comes together.

If you’re adding Lavender for Peace, Rose for Love, or Chamomile/Cardamom for Luck, sprinkle them in now.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes so it becomes firm and mysterious.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet. They should look like tiny enchanted snowballs ready to hex someone with softness.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes or until the bottoms turn the faintest shade of golden winter sunset.
