Holiday Cookies

Peppermint Snowball Cookies
These are some of my favorite cookies to make at Christmas time!

1/4 cup crushed peppermint hard candies
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup crushed peppermint hard candies
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal ® all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 325 . Mix 1/4 cup crushed candies and 1/4 cup powdered sugar; reserve. Mix butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup crushed candies and the vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in flour and salt.
Shape dough by level measuring tablespoonfuls into balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; roll in reserved candy mixture. Cool completely on wire rack. Roll in candy mixture again.
