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!
