PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect pairing--and these sweet and salty peanut butter balls covered in bittersweet chocolate are sure to satisfy your craving. Make sure the balls are chilled and firm before rolling them in the chocolate. It will ensure that they do not fall apart and helps the chocolate set faster. If the chocolate thickens while you are dipping the balls, just pop it back in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir until smooth.

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (see Cook's Note)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
  • Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

BUTTER BALLS

There are similar versions to this cookie, but I truly think that if you make mine like directed, you will find that these are the best. They will melt in your mouth. This has been a recipe used in my family since I was a little girl. We always made them for Christmas and weddings, but they are good anytime. The key is to use butter and make sure you grind the nuts very fine. I use my Kitchen Aid grinder attachment, but you can also use a food processor. Other versions use just chopped nuts, but I think when they are finely ground that makes the difference. Another important step is to bake them at 250 degrees for 45 minutes. Again, the other versions don't do this, but I stick with my recipe and am never disappointed. The extra time is worth it! This recipe will probably make 100 balls, depending on how large you make the cookies. The baking time listed is just an estimate. It will vary depending on how many cookies you make and how many you put on a cookie sheet. You can fit quite a bit on a cookie sheet because they really don't spread much.

Time 2h15m

Yield 100 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb butter, softened, no substitutes
4 cups walnuts or 4 cups pecans, very finely ground
8 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups flour
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Grind walnuts very fine. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Add flour and nuts alternately. You may have to mix by using your hands to really get it all mixed together well.
  • Roll into small balls, approximately 1-inch.
  • Place on cookie sheet, ungreased. You can usually fit a lot of cookies on the cookie sheet because they do not spread that much.
  • Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, have a bowl of powdered sugar ready for when the cookies come out of the oven.
  • When cookies are brought out of the oven, allow to cool for maybe a minute until you can pick them up without breaking them. Roll in powdered sugar and place them on wax paper. Cool.
  • I also like to roll them in powdered sugar a second time when they are completely cool.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for this recipe to ensure the butter balls aren't too salty.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help the butter balls come together smoothly.
  • Chill the butter balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
  • If you don't have time to make the butter balls ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
  • Serve the butter balls with your favorite bread, crackers, or vegetables.
