SNOWBALL SURPRISE
At Christmastime when all the treats tend to be super sweet, it's nice to have a lightly sweet cookie. We love snowballs with their buttery shortbread, pecan flavor and a dusting of powdered sugar. Putting chocolate chunks in the center is a sweet surprise. We're pretty sure Santa (plus your family and friends) will love these.

- If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough. Just be sure to pack the dough tightly into the spoon before scooping it out.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
