HOW TO MEASURE FLOUR CORRECTLY
Measure all the ingredients carefully, especially the flour.
How do you measure flour?
To correctly measure flour, first, sift the flour. Then using a spoon or scoop lightly scoop flour out of its container into a measuring cup. Continue filling the cup until it is overflowing, then using the back of a butter knife level the flour. Scooping the measuring cup directly into the flour to fill can result in up to 25% more flour than lightly spooning the flour into the measuring cup. More flour in a recipe will make it dense and dry.
Hidden Rolo Snowball cookies Pro Tips
The basic Snowball Cookie is simple perfection. They’re buttery, slightly sweet, and nutty. Pecans, walnuts, pistachios, or almonds can be used. Pecans are my favorite nut, and I almost always use them. You can use any nut you like.
They are perfect on a cold day with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
Roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar. Let them cool and roll them again.
Store in an airtight container for up to five days.

I tried this recipe. They ended up flat. I think the flour measurement instructions are vague. Measure before, measure after? The hubby said they tasted good.
I’m going to try them again with measuring flour without sifting to see if that gives the dough more body. I refrigerated the dough for two hours and used frozen Rolos.
