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!
