It's a shortbread-like cookie.
You'll need 1 C pecans...
chopped by hand or in a small chopper.
10-15 quick pulses will give you a fine chop.
Very few ingredients. No eggs, so it's a good cookie for children with egg allergies.
A stiff dough.
Roll into bite-sized balls...not to big.
After baking and a little cooling, they get a roll in powdered sugar.
You should probably have two right away with your coffee break to make sure they're OK.
But don't eat too many! oops!
Pretty snowballs.
****SNOWBALLS***
1 stick butter
1/4 C powdered sugar
1t vanilla
1 C flour
1 C finely chopped pecans
more powdered sugar for rolling
Have the butter at room temperature and cream it with the powdered sugar using a mixer.
Mix in the vanilla. Beat until fluffy.
Mix in the flour, then the pecans until well blended.
(You can chill the dough at this point)
Roll dough, a teaspoon at a time into bite-sized, about 1" balls between the palms of your hand.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 for 20 minutes, or until very lightly brown.
Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes then remove.
Roll in powdered sugar while still a little bit warm. Make a generous white coating.
Cool completely. Store between wax paper layers in an air-tight container.
Makes about 2-3 dozen snowballs, depending on the size.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
