CHRISTMAS SNOWBALL COOKIES
Most people refer to these delicious cookies as Mexican Wedding Cakes. Since my children were young, we have always refered to them as Christmas Snowballs because they look just like snowballs covered in powdered sugar!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
- Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat until well blended.
- Stir in pecans.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 1 inch apart on buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets.
- Bake in a 300° regular or convection oven until cookies are pale golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking.
- Let cookies stand on sheets until cool enough to handle.
- Place remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat all over; discard remaining sugar.
- Set cookies on racks to cool completely.

SNOWBALLS II
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.

CHOCOLATE SNOWBALLS
This is my favorite Christmas cookie recipe. The cookies remind me of the snowballs I'd pack as a child during winters here in Wisconsin. -Dee Derezinski, Waukesha, Wisconsin

- Place the oats and 1 cup of shredded coconut in a large bowl. Set aside. (Reserve the remaining coconut for step 3.)
- Combine the butter, sugar, milk, cocoa, and salt together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the butter melts, then bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute without whisking. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, then pour over the oats/coconut. Stir until combined. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes and up to 2-3 days.
- Meanwhile, pulse the remaining coconut in a food processor to break it down. It’s easier to coat the balls when the coconut shreds are broken up/smaller.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. And make sure there is enough room in your refrigerator for the baking sheets.
