Butter Nut Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the cake flour, then fold in the pecans. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 15 to 19 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool cookies completely before rolling in additional confectioners' sugar. If you are storing the cookies in a tin, add remaining sugar to the tin.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• In large bowl, combine butter and powdered sugar and mix well.
• Add vanilla and beat.
• Add dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
• Form dough around pecan halves or chocolate kiss, enclosing nut or chocolate completely.
• Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 10-12 minutes.
• Cookies should not brown.
• Immediately drop into a bowl full of powdered sugar and roll to coat.
• Let cool on wire racks.
• When cool, roll in powdered sugar again.
• NOTE: the number of cookies depends on how big you make them.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream the butter, sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla, then the flour, and finally the walnuts.
• Roll dough into walnut sized balls, place them 2 inches apart on an unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should be slightly brown. Cool and roll cookies in confectioners sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour, salt and nuts; mix well.
• Form the stiff dough into egg shapes about 1-1/2 inches long. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 15 minutes. Cool on rack.
• Spread half of cookie with confectioners' sugar glaze or melted chocolate. If desired, sprinkle with coconut, chopped nuts, colored sugar or decors. Let sit until glaze is dry.
• To Make Confectioners' Sugar Glaze: Combine 1 cup unsifted confectioners' with the water. Stir until smooth.
• To Make Chocolate Glaze: Melt the chocolate chips in a double-boiler or in microwave (stir every 15 second) until melted. Pour slightly cooled glaze in a quart size freezer ziploc, snip tip of bag and drizzle over cookies.

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix the first three ingredients.
• Add the oats and coconut plus anything additional and stir to coat.
• Form into a 1 inch round cylinder using wax paper.
• Chill for about 30 minutes or longer and cut and roll into golf ball sized or smaller pieces.
• Roll each ball in a dish of sesame seeds (whole or ground) to coat.

Steps:

• Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
• Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Cream butter.
• Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
• Add egg yolks, unbeaten, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add flour and mix well.
• Form into balls the size of a walnut.
• Roll in slightly beaten egg whites.
• Then roll in chopped almonds.
• Press 1/4 cherry into center.
• Grease baking sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Smaller cookies can be baked at 25 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Grind walnuts very fine. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla.
• Add flour and nuts alternately. You may have to mix by using your hands to really get it all mixed together well.
• Roll into small balls, approximately 1-inch.
• Place on cookie sheet, ungreased. You can usually fit a lot of cookies on the cookie sheet because they do not spread that much.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, have a bowl of powdered sugar ready for when the cookies come out of the oven.
• When cookies are brought out of the oven, allow to cool for maybe a minute until you can pick them up without breaking them. Roll in powdered sugar and place them on wax paper. Cool.
• I also like to roll them in powdered sugar a second time when they are completely cool.

Steps:

• Beat butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add flour, and beat at low speed until well blended, stir in pecans.
• Shape into one inch balls. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Remove and put on wire rack to cool. Roll in confectioners' sugar when cool.

Steps:

• Sift together into a medium sized bowl the flour, sugar and vanilla. Work in the margarine with a spoon or hands until well blended. Add chopped pecans and mix well.
• Shape dough into 1 inch balls and put on ungreased pans. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F (165 degrees C) oven for about 25 minutes or until pale brown. When slightly cool roll or shake in confectioners' sugar. Store in an air tight container.
