Powdered Nut Balls

These Christmas cookies are

a traditional favorite.

Powdered Nut Balls

1 cup softened butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 1/4 cups flour

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.

Cream butter, vanilla and powdered sugar together

in a large mixing bowl.

In a smaller bowl, whisk

the salt together with the flour

then slowly beat into the butter mixture.

Stir the nuts in with a spoon.

Chill the dough for an hour,

then roll into one inch balls

and place on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 9-11 minutes.

While cookies are still warm from the oven,

roll in powdered sugar.

Cool on a paper towel...

Then re-roll them in powdered sugar.

I think these cookies look like

little snowballs.

A pretty cookie for the holidays!
