-or-
Snowballs

1 cup butter or margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all purposes flour
1 cup finely chopped almonds or pecans (I use pecans)

powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla and butter or margarine, blend well.
Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together.
Shape into 1 inch balls.
Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Remove from cookie sheet immediately and roll in powdered sugar.
Cool completely and roll again in powdered sugar.
