Black Walnut Snowballs 1 cup butter, softened 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon vanilla 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup finely chopped black walnuts or toasted English walnuts 1-1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar Beat butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar; beat until combined. Beat in water and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour and the nuts with a wooden spoon. Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a 325° F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Place powdered sugar in a plastic bag. While cookies are still warm, transfer two or three cookies at a time to the bag of powdered sugar. Gently shake cookies in powdered sugar until coated. Cool on wire racks. When completely cool, gently shake cookies again in powdered sugar. Makes about 72 cookies BetterHomes&Gardens
