Peppermint Snowballs

I made these for the first time saturday and they were good! Can you tell that we like dessert at my house? This is from the website of Betty Crocker!



1/4 cup finely crushed peppermint candies (12 candies)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup finely crushed peppermint candies (12 candies)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Heat oven to 325ºF. Mix 1/4 cup crushed candies and 1/4 cup powdered sugar; reserve. Mix butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup crushed candies and the vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in flour and salt.
2. Shape dough by level measuring tablespoonfuls into balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; roll in reserved candy mixture. Cool completely on wire rack. Roll in candy mixture again.

My only advice, make sure you crush up the peppermints really good, to like dust almost!

LOVE the picture idea! I am such a visual person, I might make a recipe if it has a picture!!!
 
LOL Leslie! Am I going to have to go back and add pictures to all of these recipes to get you to play along!? Hee... actually, it's a good idea. It'll take awhile, but can do! ;)
