Snow Balls
Preheat oven to 325. Grease cookie sheets. Remove bag of
confectioners' sugar and set aside (this will be used after the
cookies are baked).
In a medium bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of shortening (like
Crisco sticks) and 1/4 cup margarine (not diet or tub). Stir in 2
tsp. vanilla. Add contents of the jar and mix well. Roll dough into
1" balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 20-
25 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool, and roll in the
confectioners' sugar.
Makes about 4 dozen.
