A favorite at Christmas time, pecan-filled cookies are scrumptious all year 'round.

Snowball Cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened

2. Combine all ingredients except powdered sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes).

4. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes; roll in powdered sugar while still warm and again when cool.
