Snowballs II Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter

½ cup confectioners' sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup chopped pecans

⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

or as needed

¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Dessert

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour pecans and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
