Shortbread Snowballs Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and beat until blended. Add sifted flour slowly on low speed. Chop pecans until very fine (like breadcrumbs) and add to dough.

The dough will be a crumbly mess but will go together as you break off bits and shape it into 3/4" balls. Place at least 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Cook for approximately 20 minutes, until edges are lightly brown.

Remove warm cookies from pan and roll in powdered sugar. Place in cookie tin, separating layers with wax paper.
