I made these Christmas Snowball Cookies for years, then I lost the recipe. I just found it again over on Cooks.com, though, and wanted to share it with you.

These cookies are melt-in-your-mouth tender and wonderfully tasty. They are also easy to make and the snowball shape is perfect for the Christmas season.

Cream butter and sugar together. Add flour; mix well. Add vanilla and walnuts; mix well. Shape into balls, about one inch. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Cool 3 to 5 minutes.
