Instructions to make Snowball Cookies:

1. Cream together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with softened butter. Add in vanilla, salt, flour and pecans. Roll into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter or about the size of a large gum ball or jawbreaker..
2. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 13 minutes or until brown on the bottom. Your cookie will seem soft to touch. Let them cool for about 5 minutes and then gently roll in powdered sugar (I fill a shallow bowl with about 1 cup of powdered sugar and gently roll them around)..
3. Remove and place on a cooling rack or plate to cool. Once your cookies have cooled completely, give them a second coating of powdered sugar by rolling them in the bowl again. You may need to add additional powdered sugar to coat the cookies and make them look like snowballs..

Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat all over; discard remaining sugar. Set cookies on racks to cool completely. They don't look too coated after the first time, but the second coating will give you the beautiful snowball look that these cookies are famous for. Reviewers who don't follow this to the tee are missing out.. You can make these cookies with wild black walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, hickory or butternuts -- all will work fine.
