Candy Cane Snowballs





Ingredients:
2 cups (4 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' powder sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup crushed peppermint candy/candy canes

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and powder sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in pecans.
3. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until easy to handle. (If needed, chill overnight)
4. Roll dough into 1-in balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
5. In a microwave, melt white chocolate chips, stirring to make smooth.
