Snowball Cookies

Some call these Mexican Wedding Cookies, but I like to call them Snowballs!  They're fun and easy to make, but better to eat :)  I leave out the nuts, but they can be added in at the end.


Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup  powdered sugar, divided
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups  flour
1 cup finely chopped PLANTERS Pecans
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter, 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar and the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and pecans, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place, 1-1/2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 14 to 15 min. or until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned. Cool 5 min. on baking sheets. Roll warm cookies in remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar until evenly coated; place on wire racks. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
