My family always makes these miniature snowball cookies at Christmas.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla
  • 2½ cups flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cups finely chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Cream the butter and the sugar and mix in the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Roll the cookie dough into the shape of marbles and bake them at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes until they are starting to turn golden.
  3. Let the cookies cool enough just enough so that you can handle them and then roll them in powdered sugar.
  4. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Roll them again in powdered sugar once they have cooled so that they are solid white.
