More Christmas Cookies!

Today, I made my mom's famous Snowball Cookies! They're relatively simple and don't require many ingredients. Let's get started!

This recipe makes about 20 little snowballs.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) powdered sugar
1 cup sifted flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
about 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions:
Cream the butter and the 3 tablespoons of sugar in a medium-sized bowl until fluffy. Stir in the flour gradually, then the pecans until well-blended.

Chill for several hours.

Roll the dough, a teaspoon at a time, into marble-sized balls. Place them on a greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until slightly golden.

Cool on the cookie sheet for about five minutes; remove carefully. Roll the cookies in the powdered sugar to make a generous white coating. Cool completely on wire racks.

To store them, cover in waxed paper or plastic wrap in a container.

I hope you enjoyed! Merry almost Christmas!
