Nanas Italian Snowballs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.

Steps:

• 1. Place butter in mixer and mix until soft.
• 2. Gradually add sifted flower, salt and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
• 3. Add vanilla and chopped nuts until evenly mixed. (nuts are optional)
• 4. Roll in balls or use a cookie scoop to place on ungreased cookie sheet. (Mix will be a bit sticky, not doughy, you can coat your hands with butter if you're rolling them so that they don't stick to your fingers.) These cookies do not expand a whole lot and thus they only need to be about 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.
• 5. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
• 6. Allow cookies to cool completely. (They will fall apart if you try to touch them before they are cool)
• 7. Once cookies are cool, roll them in powdered sugar and enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and pineapple until combined then fold in 1 cup of the pecans. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• 2. Take out of refrigerator and roll into 1-inch balls; then roll the balls in the coconut. Grease or butter hands for rolling if needed. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• 3. Arrange on a Serving plate, garnish with the extra 1/4 cup chopped pecans and enjoy the smiles!
