Roasted Chestnut Snowball Cookies

 Roasted Chestnut Snowball Cookies
Traditionally Snowball cookies are made with ground nuts, however, we added our new Roasted Chestnut herbal tisane to the butter in this recipe to create an incredible taste sensation! Try the recipe below or there are a few variations to try with this recipe. You can add nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans...) either toasted or untoasted and ground (1/2 - 1 cup) or add 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. These cookies are rolled in powdered sugar. We did roll them in powdered sugar, however, we also discovered that these cookies are scrumptious rolled in either a mixture of confectioner's sugar & cinnamon or a mix of confectioner's sugar & unsweetened cocoa. While both taste amazingly delicious, we think that the cocoa version pairs perfectly with the Roasted Chestnut and adds a depth of decadence to this recipe.

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 Tbsp Roasted Chestnut Rooibos, herbal tisane
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional powdered sugar, for rolling (also can be mixed with cinnamon or mixed with unsweetened cocoa - your preference)

Optional:
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 to 1 cup of ground nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans)

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the Roasted Chestnut tisane, cover and steep for at least 5 minutes. Strain the butter into a measuring glass. If there is less than 1 cup, add a little more butter to make 1 cup. Refrigerate for a half hour to solidify a little.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Mix tea butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. If the dough does not mix together, add 1/2 tsp of milk until it comes together in a ball.

 Snowball Cookies
Scoop 1 scant tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until bottoms are just slightly brown. Remove from oven and cool on a rack until you can handle them.

Fill a small bowl with powdered sugar (or your variation of sugar & spices or cocoa) and roll each cookie in the sugar until coated. Place back on the rack to cool. (Once cookies are cooled, you may want to re-roll them in more powdered sugar.)

Enjoy these tasty treats with your favorite S&V holiday tea.

If you're giving them away for holiday gifts definitely make extra. They're hard to keep around!

Nutty 10/12/2021
If you love chestnuts this tea is for you! I chose the sample size to give this one a try. It’s a little strong flavored for me ; however, that’s just my personal bias. This tea is also very fine so comes through my strainer into my cup. Nevertheless, the flavor profile of this tea is just as described. Definitely worth a try!

Another new favorite! 5/22/2021
I've been putting this one off because I suspected I'd taste nothing but rooibos, and I've never had unflavored rooibos. I used to dislike it in bagged tea and found I could deal with it in better, loose-leaf varieties. I still tended to lean toward the green rather than the red. So I was rather surprised when I loved this tea! I was afraid rooibos pong would overpower the chestnut for me. The chestnut flavor is subtle but it IS there and the overall result is a very drinkable tea with a flavor profile that fills a niche in my tea arsenal. I need something that's not super fruity, or very chocolatey, or crazy spicy - though I love all of these - sometimes I need a break. This is a deep, mellow flavor that I could go back right now and brew again. The accountant in my head sighs and says, "Ok, yet another re-order". From the person who always says she likes "VariTea"... I've come up with an awful lot of reorders from S&V.
 
Delicious! Deep, lingering taste! 2/22/2021
I bought this tea on a whim, and I honestly didn't expect to like it. I've never had chestnuts before, so I didn't know what to expect. I can't say whether or not this does taste like chestnuts, but it has a delicious, lingering taste that it wonderful! It is now my favorite tea!

Very Nutty 7/4/2020
The flavor here is so fun. The chestnut tastes so authentic, even a bit salty. It’s really strong and nutty. I added just a little milk, and it’s really delightful. The rooibos is the perfect supporting player for the flavoring. The second steep tasted almost as strong as the first. I love a strong, nutty tea, and this has to be one of the best ones yet.

Roasted Chestnut 3/22/2019
The Roasted Chestnut Rooibos is a scrumptious cup for a cold day. The nutty sweet flavoring of roasted chestnuts taste delicious with the rooibos tea.

Found my way back! 1/23/2019
I was given this tea as a sample by someone who sold me some other tea related stuff. It is one of my all time favorites. It is warm and unique. I haven't had any more of this tea since I ran out of the sample. Still, even with the holidays behind us, I am going to buy some now! :)

A sweet roobios nighttime cup 12/20/2018
I don't know much about what chestnuts taste like, however it does remind me of one of the best books I read this year: 'The Overstory' by Richard Powers. On to the tea: the lovely rooibos base comes through more than usual. A very deep red in the mug. I don't think the orange blossoms do much here, but I do love when they are in blends. Any chestnut flavor here just seems like sweetness to me. Not much nutty about it, but again, I have no chestnut experience to compare this tea to. But a sweet rooibos is acceptable enough for me for a nighttime cup. The second steep the next night tasted exactly the same as the first. Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug // 12 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep

A Favorite Among Many 10/27/2018
Absolutely love this tea. It has a distinct nutty flavor, without being bitter. In fact, any time I have one of the girls over to share a cup of tea, they all ask for the Roasted Chestnut. And with it being naturally caffeine-free, it is my go-to tea most of the time.

Chestnut delight 3/6/2018
This rooibos is just wonderful! The aroma is like sugary raisins while the cup is bursting with a delightful nuttiness. It's wonderfully malty and easy to drink. Sometimes I'll get a slight orange note as well. In the past I had a chestnut tea with a black tea base that was divine- this tea fills that role but now I can drink it in the evening!

Not my cup of tea 1/9/2017
I wanted to like this, since Ive had chestnut teas that I enjoyed before. Unfortunately Ive never been a fan of red rooibos. The chestnut flavor itself was very good, but I couldnt get past the rooibos base. I just dont like the taste of the two together. If this had been on a different base, like a black tea, it would be lovely. As it is, its a no-go.

The spirit of fall 10/15/2016
I love this one! The previous reviewer was right, the chestnut works with the rooibos base in the most delicious way possible! The base and flavors meld together seamlessly. I cant stop drinking this, its currently #1 on my rooibos rotation.

Perfect 9/7/2016
I really love this one. It has a rich, full-bodied, nutty flavor that blends beautifully with the red rooibos. A new favorite.
