Snowballs

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Cream butter and powered sugar until fluffy. Stir in flour gradually, then pecans until well mixed. Chill several hours, or until firm enough to handle.

Roll dough, a teaspoon at a time into marble-size balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

Cool on cookie sheets about 5 minutes, remove carefully. Roll in powdered sugar in pie plate while still warm to make a generous white coating. Cool completely on wire rack. Store with wax paper between layers in container with a tight fitting lid.
