Snowball Cookies

The third cookie I made was my mother's snowball cookies.

The recipe is as follows:

All the ingredients that I used

Sift together 
2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cream of Tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Set aside

Cream
1 cup softened butter.  Gradually add
1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, creaming well

Blend in

1 unbeaten egg

1 tsp Vanilla Extract; beat well

Add gradually

the dry ingredients; mix thoroughly

Optional:  

Stir in 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped or ground.

Take the dough out, and form into a ball.

CHILL DOUGH--I put it in the refrigerator overnight.  I wrapped it in wax paper.

Take out of the refrigerator and

 Shape by teaspoonfuls into balls.

I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and baked for 8 minutes.

Roll warm cookies in confectioners' sugar.

Cool, and roll again in confectioners' sugar.

Definitely one of my favorites.
