Snowball Cookies

• 2 sticks butter, softened (NO substitutions!)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons almond flavoring
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• Colored sugars

Instructions:
Mix butter, powdered sugar, and almond flavoring in bowl. Mix until light. Add flour and salt. Mix well. At this point you can chill the dough if you'd like. When ready to bake, take small pinches, roll into small balls, and roll in colored sugar. You can also bake these without the sugar and then roll in powdered sugar while hot. Roll twice if rolling in powdered sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake about 10-12 minutes at 400F.
Makes about 4 dozen.
