Christmas Cookies

Christmas Snowballs


BLEND:
1 c. margarine
1 c. shortening / 4 t. vanilla
2/3 c. sugar / 4 t. water



MIX IN:
4 c. flour and then...
1/4 c. chopped walnuts or pecans
(Nuts are optional, but not for me! You can always do half with and half without!)


Chill at least 2 to 3 hours. (If I'm in a hurry, I press the dough all around the bowl so that it's thin ~ and it chills even faster, like within an hour.) Shape into walnut-size balls. Bake at 325° for 15 min. Allow to cool thoroughly and then roll in powdered sugar to thoroughly coat.

  1. I have another recipe for Snowballs

    1 pkg. of oreo cookies
    1 container of whipped cream cheese
    White melting chocolate

    Crush the oreo cookies and mix in the cream cheese.

    Refrigerate for a little while, then roll into balls and dip into white chocolate.
