Finally did it.

Awhile back, after talking to my Sister Emily, I finally joined Pinterest. It definitely can be addicting and a time vacuum, BUT I have really enjoyed it. I feel like it has helped me to be more creative and to take homemaking to another level. It's been fun :0) For one of our recent date nights Bry and I searched on there for a good cookie bar to make and came across with this one. It was a total winner. Yum.

Snowball Cookies Recipe.

As requested, here is the snowball cookie recipe. Enjoy!...



Snowball Cookies

· 1 cup of butter, softened - no substitute!

· 1/2 cup powdered sugar

· 1/4 tsp of salt

· 1 tsp of vanilla extract

· 2 tablespoons of milk

· 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

· 1 cup of very finely chopped pecans

· 1/2 to 1 cup of additional powdered sugar for coating

In a bowl - or a stand mixer - cream the butter with the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract. Add the flour, milk, nuts and salt. Mix well until it forms a soft dough.
Roll some of the dough between your hands until you have little balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on an UNgreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Note: Remember that it is better for you to undercook those snowball cookies rather than overcook them. If they are overcooked, they will be dry.
While the snowball cookies are still warm roll them into the powdered sugar.
Note: I use a small Ziploc bag for this purpose. I place the sugar in the bag and a couple snowballs at a time, then I gently roll them in the sugar. When well coated, place them on a dish.
