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.
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!
If you love chestnuts this tea is for you! I chose the sample size to give this one a try. Its a little strong flavored for me ; however, thats 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!
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.

Roasted Chestnut
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!
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
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 steepSteep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep
