Snow Balls

© Crysta M. Curtiss

When I pulled the recipe book down off the shelf looking for something yummy to whip up, I saw these and instantly knew I would have to run to the store for peanut butter chips...that's me, I get a craving, and I have to go along with it, or who knows what will happen!!! (I'll tell you one thing, I certainly don't know what would happen, because I don't have the will power to ignore a craving!)

Here they all...Snowballs...I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Filling: 1/2 of a 12 oz. pkg. of Nestle peanut butter morsels; 1/2 of a 6 oz. pkg. of Nestle semi-sweet chocolage chips; 1/4 c. powdered sugar; 1/4 cup finely chopped salted cocktail peanuts.

Cookie: 3 cups flour; 1-1/4 cup butter, softened; 1 T. vanilla; powdered sugar.

Filling: Melt over hot (not boiling) water, peanut butter morsels and chocolate chips, stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and peanuts, mix well. Chill until firm enough to shape. Roll into 3/4" balls, set aside.

Cookie: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In bowl, combind flour, butter and vanilla, knead well until blended. Shape into one 11" log. Cut into 1/4" slices. Shape each dough slice around ball of filling. Roll into ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for ten minutes. Cool. Roll in powdered sugar.
