1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
Heat oven to 400. Mix thoroughly butter, sugar and vanilla. Work in flour, salt and nuts until dough holds together. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 10 to 11 minutes or until set, but not brown. Do not overcook. While warm, roll in confectioners' sugar. Cool. Roll in confectioners' sugar again.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
As a teenager, I will never forget making dozens and dozens of these "Snowballs" to give to neighbors and friends. They were a favorite of my dad and my mom or one of us girls would make him a tin full of Snowballs all his own each year. Thanks for the request Melody.
