For anyone interested in making the pecan snowball cookies (post #33) I found an easier version of it.
4 sticks butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups finely ground pecans
6 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
4 cups all purpose flour
confectioner's sugar
Preheat oven to 325*. Mix 1st 5 ingredients well. Form into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes until cookies turn lightly brown. Remove from oven; cool for 5 minutes. Roll each cookie in confectioner's sugar. When cool, roll again until well coated. If cookies break up while rolling in sugar, cool for another 5 minutes. Makes about 100 cookies.
Mine are baking right now. I halved the recipe (let the kids make them into balls - very easy!) and there are 56 cookies on the baking sheet.
