Ingredients

• 1 cup of margarine

Instructions

7. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper

8. Roll cookies into 1 inch balls

9. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. They are done when the bottoms are golden brown

10. Cool for at least 45 minutes until completely cool

11. Put confectioners sugar/powdered sugar in a bag or bowl and toss the cooled cookies in the powdered sugar to coat
     

    Notes and Adjustments!

The nuts in this recipe are optional and different nuts can be used, you can try almonds, walnuts or my favorite pecans. Be sure to chop the nuts up very well. These are called by different names in different cultures, you may have heard them called crescents or snowballs. I call them sugary, butter balls- which pretty much sums up how they taste - enjoy!
