Snowballs
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup chopped nuts
icing sugar
Cream butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy and then add the vanilla.
Add dry ingredients (save icing sugar for later) and form dough into small balls. Bake at 325 for about 1/2 hour, remove from the oven and roll in icing sugar. Allow to cool and then roll again. These little snowballs look especially appealing when placed in tiny foil
cups.
