How to Make Candy Cane Snowballs
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 3 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until the dough is firm enough to handle.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on wire racks.
