TOASTED ALMOND SNOWBALLS
Browning almond flour for these cookies adds a deep layer of toasty flavor, intensifying their overall nuttiness. Feel free to substitute other nuts: Pistachios, walnuts and pecans work particularly well. Snowballs keep, stored airtight at room temperature, for about a week.

Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the almond flour, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Immediately pour flour into a small bowl to cool. Watch carefully: Once the flour begins to toast, it will happen very quickly.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, beat butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar on low speed until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, brandy and almond extract until well combined.
- Reduce speed to low and gradually add all-purpose flour, salt and toasted almond flour until just incorporated.
- Scrape the dough into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using your hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until cookies begin to brown at edges. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through for even baking.
- Place 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a sieve. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sift a thick layer of confectioners' sugar over the tops. Once cookies are cool, put remaining 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar (plus any sugar in the sieve) into a shallow bowl and toss cookies again in confectioners' sugar.

- Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add vanilla and 1 cup powdered sugar, beating well. (Dough will be crumbly.)

- Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Steps:
- With an ice-cream scoop, form ice cream into 8 balls, dipping scoop in hot water as you work and dropping balls onto prepared dish. (To prepare the dish, tightly cover a baking dish with plastic wrap, stretching it over the top; this will prevent the snowballs from flattening on the bottom.) Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- One at a time, remove balls from freezer, roll in desired coating (1 1/2 cups total), and return to freezer. Freeze until set, at least 10 minutes, before serving.
- TOFFEE CHIPS: Use toffee chips straight from the bag, or crush up your favorite candies.
- TOASTED COCONUTS: Spread sweetened shredded coconut on a rimmed baking sheet; bake at 350 degrees, tossing occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- TOASTED ALMONDS: Spread sliced almonds on a rimmed baking sheet; bake at 350 degrees, tossing occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
TOASTED SOUTHERN SNOWBALLS
This is my version of a recipe called Southern Snowballs, from Paula Deen. I liked her recipe, but decided to make it more what I was looking for in ease of the recipe and taste. I like the flavor and crunch of toasted coconut. Paula's is very good, but try this way. You might like it better! I do!

Steps:
- Mix together the marshmallow creme, orange marmalade, and orange juice concentrate. Add the very finely crushed vanilla wafers and mix well. Roll into 1 inch balls. Then roll in the toasted coconut flakes. You can also do it without toasting the coconut, but I like the crunch of toasted flakes. Prep time includes the time to toast the coconut flakes.

Steps:
- About 30 minutes before serving, freeze scoops of ice cream shaped into balls. Scoop out 4 portions, placing each scoop on a cookie sheet with about 2 inches between them. Put the sheet of ice cream scoops in the freezer. (Before you do, make sure there's enough room in the freezer).
- Meanwhile, toast the coconut: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a thin layer of the coconut on a cookie sheet and toast it in the oven. Toast about 10 minutes or until it begins to turn light brown. Spread the coconut in a shallow bowl.
- When ready to serve the ice cream, lift off the snowballs with a large spoon and roll each, one at a time, in the toasted coconut. Arrange on a small cookie sheet and freeze again about 10 minutes or more to resolidify.
- Place 1 snowball in each serving bowl. Drizzle with honey. Serve at once.
