How To Make snowballs

• Step 1
  Pre-heat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat large baking sheet with non-stick spray. Set aside.
• Step 2
  Put 4 tbs. of the powdered sugar in a small bowl and set aside for use later.
• Step 3
  Cream butter in a medium sized bowl. Add remaining ingredients, except nuts, into creamed butter. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated. Add nuts to butter mixture last and mix throughly again. NOTE: If mixture is too sticky, add 1 tbs. of flour at a time until consistency is manageable but not dry. You can also put mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm dough up.
• Step 4
  Coat cleaned and dried hands with flour. Roll dough into small, bite sized balls approximately 1-1/2" in diameter. NOTE: Balls should be the same size for even cooking.
• Step 5
  Arrange balls on baking sheet about 2" apart. Bake in pre-heated oven at 325°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Step 6
  While Snowballs are still HOT, carefully and gently roll balls in remaining powdered sugar one Snowball at a time. When Snowballs are cooled, roll Snowballs again (one at a time) in powder sugar to thoroughly coat balls with sugar. Add more powered sugar if needed to coat Snowballs.
• Step 7
  Store Snowballs in an air-tight container.
• Step 8
  SPECIAL DESERT TREAT: In a parfait glass layer vanilla or chocolate ice cream, crumbled Snowballs, whipped cream (or whipped topping) ice cream, crumbled Snowballs and top with whipped cream and coarsely chopped pecans.
