Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the walnuts on another baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then pulse the nuts in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and add the rum and vanilla; let soak at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk the flour, 1 teaspoon nutmeg and the salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, egg yolk and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the walnut-rum mixture until fluffy, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until combined. Turn out the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls and arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared pans. Bake until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans.
- Put the remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a medium bowl. Gently roll the warm cookies in the confectioners' sugar mixture. Transfer to a rack to cool completely; the cookies will firm up as they cool. Once cool, reroll in the confectioners' sugar mixture.
TRIPLE NUT SNOWBALLS
This super-crunchy, not-too-sweet cookie is a fun update on the classic snowball. I used cashews, macadamia nuts and pecans, but you can mix and match other nuts to your liking. -Thomas Faglon, Somerset, New Jersey

JAM FILLED PECAN SNOWBALLS
Steps:
- HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Place pecans, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and salt in bowl of food processor fitted with metal blade. Pulse machine on and off to break up nuts, then process until nuts are finely ground. Add butter a few pieces at a time, pulsing on and off to incorporate, then process until mixture is smooth; pulse in vanilla. Add flour and pulse machine on and off until incorporated, scraping the dough down once or twice. Process until the dough begins to form a ball.
- REMOVE dough from machine, form into a very flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm enough to roll into balls. Dough may be refrigerated overnight.**
- LINE two rimmed jelly-roll pans with parchment paper. Roll dough between lightly floured palms into 1-inch balls and place on prepared cookie sheets 2-inches apart. Make an indentation with your thumb or finger in center of each cookie to make a deep well, going about three-quarters of the way down into the cookie. If cracks form, simply press any cracks together.
- BAKE 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown on the bottoms and around the edges. Place cookie sheets on cooling racks; sift remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar over warm cookies. Immediately fill the indentations with jelly and allow to cool completely.
- *To toast pecans: Place pecans in dry nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat, shaking pan until nuts are lightly browned.
- **You may freeze dough up to 1 month; defrost in refrigerator overnight before proceeding
- Cookies may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks; these are best stored in single layers separated by waxed or parchment paper.
