This is a recipe I grew up with my mom making. Originally they were called Mexican Wedding Cookies, but we kids liked the way these looked like snowballs...
Cream together 1 cup shortening (at least 1/2 cup must be real butter) and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Add 2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup finely crushed walnuts (can use blender), and 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract. Roll into small balls. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and roll them in powdered sugar. Makes 2-3 dozen.
