Don't know if it's too late to add another?
****************

Sand Dabs (..White Snowball cookies)

preheat oven no hotter than 325

One Cup Butter Soft as Pudding (no margarine)

5 Heaping TBL of Confectioner's Sugar

2 cups flour

Heaping tsp. of pure vanilla

and maybe a dash of salt (unless the below pecans/walnuts/
cashews are salty)..

1/2 - 3/4 cup of one of these... (ground) pecans or english walnuts or cashews

and an additional couple cups of confectioner's sugar to roll the cookies in when they're done.

Mix softened butter with 5 Heaping TBL confec. sugar. (pudding consistency) Add flour. maybe a dash of Salt. Mix with spoon. Add Vanilla and 1/2 - 3/4 cup of ground nuts. At this point, mix with your hands. Roll in small balls. Bake in a slow oven 300-325 degree oven....Idea is to have them firm to the touch...with a pale tan not brown bottom....20 - 25 minutes. They will scorch easily if you try to hurry them.

Take out of oven let them rest....a wee bit.

Gently roll them while they're still fairly hot in
conf. sugar. Roll them each once...and then if they're still warm...roll again.

Great Keepers...Great Shippers if cushioned.

I saw the Recipe years ago in a Pennsylvania Grange Cookbook..
but have since experimented with different type nuts..including(cashews)..and think they're better when rolled twice in confect. sugar...to make a fondant type coating.
