If there’s no real snow around to make snowballs, you’ll have these as a “reminder”! So easy to make and so, so good!
Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips
• Confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.
• Shape dough into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until set and bottoms are lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Roll warm cookies in confectioners’ sugar. Cool completely on wire racks. If desired, reroll cookies in confectioners’ sugar.
Note: you can substitute chopped pistachios, macadamia nuts or even almonds for pecans and walnuts if you so choose. Or you can omit the nuts and add a few more chocolate chips. Makes about 4 dozen.
