Snowball Cookies

1. 1

   Whip up the butter and add the sugar, whipping until it becomes fluffy. Then add the vanilla.

2. 2

   Add the dry ingredients into the vanilla, butter and sugar mixture.

3. 3

   In a food processor, pulse the walnuts pretty fine.

4. 4

   Mix the walnuts into the dough.

5. 5

   Using your hands , roll the cookie dough into little balls about 1 1/2 in diameter.

6. 6

   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the snowballs on it .Chill for about 10 min.

7. 7

   Then bake in a 325 degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes. Watch to make sure the bottoms don't burn. Half way through, reverse the cookie sheet.

8. 8

   Immediately after removing from the oven, roll the balls in powdered sugar, completely coating them. Or, if your are all thumbs, like me, I use a flour sifter and sift the powdered sugar all over the balls and then gently (!) roll them over and do the other side. Then I roll them over once again and sift more sugar over them.

9. 9

   Cool, then sprinkle more powdered sugar on them and shake off the excess..
