Mini Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies

I have to say that these are one of my favorite cookies, EVAR! I'm not much for sweet treats but I would make an exception for these.  I was introduced to them by my sister during the winter of 2009.  I had to have the recipe!  Thankfully she shared it with me.  I love them as is, so, no tweaking!  I found the recipe on Very Best Baking

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Semi-Sweet Chocolate mini morsels
• 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
• Powdered sugar

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

BEAT butter, sugar, vanilla extract and salt in large mixer bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in flour; stir in morsels and nuts. Shape level tablespoons of dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set and lightly browned. Remove from oven. Sift powdered sugar over hot cookies on baking sheets. Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar, if desired. Store in airtight containers.
