Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down side of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour, and mix just until combined. Shape into 3/4-inch balls (chill dough if too sticky). Place sanding sugar in shallow bowls. Roll each ball in sanding sugar, and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are lightly golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Spread 2 cookies with just enough filling to allow them to stick together. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine JIF® Peanut Butter and butter until blended; add confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Using your hands, shape peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls. Place balls on prepared baking sheet; chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Place white chocolate and CRISCO® All-Vegetable Shortening in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring at 30-second intervals, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Line baking sheet with waxed paper. Using a spoon, dip each peanut butter ball into melted chocolate, spooning chocolate over ball to coat, if necessary. Once covered, sprinkle each ball with glitter. Use multiple colors to create a festive gift.
- Transfer snowballs to baking sheet. Chill 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the glitter balls will taste. Use fresh fruit, good-quality chocolate, and high-quality sprinkles.
- Do not over-mix the batter: Over-mixing the batter will make the glitter balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the glitter balls hold their shape better. Chill for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the glitter balls until they are just set: Over-baking the glitter balls will make them dry and crumbly. Bake for just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the glitter balls cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate set properly.
- Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or even edible glitter.
Conclusion:
Glitter balls are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious and beautiful glitter balls that will impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
