Christmas Walnut Snowballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup soft butter (no substitutes)
1 1/2 cups ground walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon milk (optional)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together just until blended.
If it seems a bit dry, add the 1 tablespoon of milk.
Roll into approximately 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 375F for 20 minutes. Oven times may vary so checking your cookies after about 12 minutes or so may be necessary so your cookies do not overbake/This is the temp and time my grandmother had on the recipe but seeing as the temp is a bit high I would check them periodically.
When cookies are lukewarm, roll in powdered sugar.
When completely cooled, you can roll again in the powdered sugar for even sweeter and\"snowier\" cookies, if you like.
Note; If you prefer rum balls, you may add a tablespoon of rum {or more if you want really happy cookies} to the mixture before baking.
