Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

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

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl, combine all ingredients together just until blended.
• 2 if it seems a bit dry, add the 1 tablespoon of milk.
• 3 roll into approximately 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• 4 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.
• 5 when cookies are lukewarm, roll in powdered sugar.
• 6 when completely cooled, you can roll again in the powdered sugar for even sweeter and"snowier" cookies, if you like.
• 7 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.
