     Little Snowballs

Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups melted butter (3 sticks, 3/4 pound)
3/4 cup powdered sugar (that's confectioner's sugar)
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly ground is best)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-1/2 cups flour (no need to sift)
1 cup finely chopped nuts - See below for ideas
 

Instructions
Melt the butter. Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt. Add the flour and mix thoroughly. Stir in the nuts (if you work quickly, while the butter is still warm, the dough will be softer and easier to mix). Form the dough into one-inch balls (just pat them into shape with your fingers), and place them on an UN- GREASED baking sheet, 12 to a standard sheet. Bake them at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, until they are set but not brown.
Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes and then roll them in powdered sugar. (You must do this while they're still warm.) Place them on a wire rack and let them cool thoroughly. When the cookies are cool, roll them in powdered sugar a second time. Let them rest for several minutes on the rack, and then store them in a cookie jar or covered bowl.
Tips and Substitution Ideas- You can use chopped walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts. You can also substitute a cup of flaked coconut for the nuts and form the dough balls around a small piece of a milk chocolate bar or a couple of milk chocolate chips.
