Sandy's Snowballs

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. 2
   Cream butter until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer.
3. 3
   Using a wooden spoon, stir in cake flour,vanilla, egg,& salt until mixed well (using an electric at this point could make the dough too tough).
4. 4
   Stir in the ground nuts.
5. 5
   Shape into 30 small balls and bake on parchment lined baking sheets at 350 F for 10 minutes (they will appear to be sitting in puddles of melted butter as they bake - this is normal), then rotate your trays in the oven and continue baking another 5-10 minutes, or until they just start to turn golden.
6. 6
   Roll in powdered sugar while hot.
7. 7
   Let cool.

   When cool, roll again in more powdered sugar to coat.
