Christmas Walnut Snowballs
- 1 cup soft butter (no substitutes)
- 1 1/2 cups ground walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together just until blended.
- If it seems a bit dry, add the 1 tablespoon of milk.
- Roll into approximately 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 375F for 20 minutes. Oven times may vary so checking your cookies after about 12 minutes or so may be necessary so your cookies do not overbake/This is the temp and time my grandmother had on the recipe but seeing as the temp is a bit high I would check them periodically.
- When cookies are lukewarm, roll in powdered sugar.
- When completely cooled, you can roll again in the powdered sugar for even sweeter and"snowier" cookies, if you like.
- Note; If you prefer rum balls, you may add a tablespoon of rum {or more if you want really happy cookies} to the mixture before baking.
