Christmas Walnut Snowballs
When I see a holiday cookie platter, I usually grab the powdery snowball cookie first cuz it's my favorite. This was the recipe my grandma used for as long as I could remember, and I think they're the best I've had! I make them now, but yummy as they are, I must admit I enjoyed them much more when grandma was here to bake them for us.

DIRECTIONS
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together just until blended.
- If it seems a bit dry, add the 1 tablespoon of milk.
- Roll into approximately 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 375F for 20 minutes. Oven times may vary so checking your cookies after about 12 minutes or so may be necessary so your cookies do not overbake/This is the temp and time my grandmother had on the recipe but seeing as the temp is a bit high I would check them periodically.
- When cookies are lukewarm, roll in powdered sugar.
- When completely cooled, you can roll again in the powdered sugar for even sweeter and"snowier" cookies, if you like.
- Note; If you prefer rum balls, you may add a tablespoon of rum {or more if you want really happy cookies} to the mixture before baking.
