MARYS'S MOTHER'S SNOWBALLS...............

I TRIED THESE FUN LITTLE COOKIES YESTERDAY...
THEY REMIND ME OF SIMILAR COOKIES I HAVE MADE
EXCEPT THEY HAVE A " SURPRISE INSIDE "- A CHOCOLATE
KISS THAT MAKES THEM EXTRA SPECIAL.......
THIS RECIPE CAME FROM SUSAN BRANCH'S
CHRISTMAS JOY COOKBOOK.....................
SIMPLE DOUGH OF FLOUR; SUGAR; BUTTER; AND NUTS....
I THEM USED LITTLE KISSES AND PLACED THEM
INSIDE THE LITTLE ROUND DISK....I ONLY HAD A
FEW "KISSES" LEFT SO DECIDED TO TRY SOME
CANDY BAR TOO. I BROKE THE SEPERATE PIECES
IN HALF AND THEN PUT INSIDE EACH LITTLE
COOKIE..............
HERE THEY ARE NOT FULLY COVERED YET.........
MY OVEN GETS REALLY HOT SO BE CAREFUL NOT
TO BAKE THEM TOO LONG....JUST UNTIL LIGHT
LIGHT BROWN...THAT MAKES THEM SO GOOD....
HERE IS THE RECIPE TO ENJOY:

MARY'S MOTHER'S SNOWBALLS

350 DEGREES MAKES ABOUT 2 1/2 DOZEN

INGREDIENTS

2 STICKS OF BUTTER OR MARGARINE, SOFTENED
3/4 SUGAR
2 C SIFTED FLOUR
1 C FINELY CHOPPED WALNUTS
8 OZ CHOCOLATE KISSES OR USE A CANDY BAR ABUT 1/2 INCH
POWERED SUGAR FOR DUSTING

DIRECTIONS

CREAM BUTTER AND SUGAR UNTIL SMOOTH. ADD FLOUR, THEN WALNUTS.
GATHER DOUGH INTO DISK-SHAPE AND WRAP IN PLASTIC. ** NOTE THESE ARE THE DIRECTIONS BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TO REFRIGERATE
REFRIGERATE AT LEAST ONE HALF HOUR. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350.

REMOVE FOIL FROM KISSES AND INSERT ONE INSIDE A BALL OF DOUGH 1" IN DIAMETER. MAKE SURE EACH "KISS" IS COMPLETELY COVERED BY DOUGH.
BAKE ON AN UNGREASED BAKING SHEET FOR ABOUT 12 MIN. ** I WENT ONLY 9-10
MINUTES. OR UNTIL COOKED THROUGH.
SIFT OVER POWERED SUGAR WHILE STILL WARM.
