Snowballs

These, again, are my one of my mom's famous recipes. I remember her always baking these during Christmas time! I wish that this year I could go home for Christmas and do all the family traditions we usually do, but hey! I can't complain, I'm going to Hawaii!
These are absolutely delicious.. Most people make these without the chocolate kiss in the middle but I think that the kiss adds a little Umph to it! I highly recommend you put those puppies in.
 So first, we actually aren't going to preheat the oven first!

Cream together,
1 Cup of Butter (2sticks)
1/2 Cup of Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
Once fluffy, Add
2 1/4 Cup of Flour
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
Then, Add
1/2 Cup of Finely Chopped Peacans


Once mixed well, wrap the dough in saran wrap and place in the fridge for about an hour.
 Once chilled, preheat the over to 400 degrees F. Shape the dough into about 1 inch balls, take a chocolate kiss and stick it in the middle. Bake for 8-10 minutes and do not let it brown!

Now, take a small bowl and put about 1/2 Cup of Powdered Sugar. Once balls have cooled a little but still are warm, place the balls individually in the bowl and roll them. Once those have cooled completely, strinkle some more powdered sugar over all of them to get the snow effect!
