Flat snowball cookies might be a sign that the baking powder or baking soda is expired.Help! My snowball cookies turned out flat. Any ideas why?I followed the recipe step by step, but they just didn't puff up like they're supposed to. What could have gone wrong? Would love to hear your insights and tips!
Though I think checking the expiration date and using fresh leavening agents could make a difference.

Oh no! Flat snowball cookies can be a bummer, but let's troubleshoot! 
It could be due to the dough being too warm or overmixing, which can cause the cookies to spread too much during baking. 
Try chilling the dough in the fridge for a bit before baking and gently rolling them into balls to prevent flattening. Also, double-check your oven temperature to ensure it's accurate. Don't give up! You'll have perfect snowball cookies in no time!
