SNOWBALL COOKIES
     SNOBOL-COOKIES - Nut-butter holiday cookie with a sugar
     coating

     Great for the holidays when sampling lots of cookies.  Just
     pop one in your mouth and enjoy!

INGREDIENTS (4 dozen)
     2 cups    all-purpose flour
     1/2 tsp   salt
     3/4 cup   softened butter or margarine
     1/2 cup   sugar
     1         egg
     1 tsp     vanilla extract
     1 cup     chopped walnuts
               confectioner's sugar

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.

          (2)  Grease cookie sheets lightly with unsalted shor-
               tening.

          (3)  Sift together flour and salt.

          (4)  Work butter in a bowl until creamy.

          (5)  Add sugar and beat until well blended.

          (6)  Add egg and vanilla and beat well.

          (7)  Gradually add sifted dry ingredients, beating well
               after each addition.  Stir in walnuts.

          (8)  Shape dough into small balls about 3/4 inch in
               diameter.

          (9)  Place balls about 2 inches apart on prepared
               cookie sheets.  Bake 12-15 minutes or until
               lightly browned.

          (10) Roll balls in confectioners sugar while still
               warm.  Roll again in sugar when cooled.

NOTES
     Store these in a tight container.  Powered sugar makes this
     recipe a little messy.

RATING
     Difficulty: moderate (dexterity required).  Time: 30
     minutes.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
