In reply to Rekha. Hi Rekha! You can if you like but it's not necessary. I've only roasted nuts, not nut flour.

Hmmm... these bad boys have so many aliases and show up on so many most wanted lists. These are just about the only cookies that I could have and it’s due to the limited sugar in them. Last year I made them for my cousin to take a cookie swap. I looked at the recipe and thought we’ll what the heck, with the four ingredients. So true to form, without ever trying the recipe as written, I added ginger and cardamom and renamed it to “spiced ginger snowball cookies “. I didn’t roll the second time in the powered sugar but rather sprinkled the sugar on for presentation purposes- my aversion to sugar is getting worse each year so much so that I swear I went into a sugar coma about a month ago...but I digress. Back to these infamous cookies. I piled them to create a Christmas tree and I made a few different sizes that I used to make snowmen out of. Of course she won the grand prize at the party. No such happenings this year with the COVID but I had planned on making the stained glass ones so “we” would be crowned repeat champions. I do not go to that cookie swap party with her or on my own for that matter because I couldn’t fathom coming home with all those cookies- that could be the aversion speaking. Anyway, I’m on my way to a vacation rental home for the next two weeks and while there, I plan to make those stained glass cookies. I’ve been wanting to do it since COVID started but never got around to it. Now I finally have the cookie cutters and time on my hands. Let the madness begin. Happy holidays to one and all. p.s. I think the almond combo you suggested would be awesome.

In reply to Amanda. Hi Amanda! The recipe makes 45. I use two baking sheets and swap them, but if you have 3 that would be easier!

Oh these look heavenly! Quick question about serving size… How many does this recipe make? I noticed it says 45 at the top of the recipe, but it looks like 30 in the instructions. Just wondering because I’m hosting a bridal shower for about 18 people and trying to figure out if I can half this or just have a few extra. 🙂

In reply to Mehadhiya. Hi Mehadhiya! I usually go by volume, but for certain things (like the pecans in this recipe), I weigh them out too to make sure the number is accurate.
