SNOWBALL SURPRISE
At Christmastime when all the treats tend to be super sweet, it's nice to have a lightly sweet cookie. We love snowballs with their buttery shortbread, pecan flavor and a dusting of powdered sugar. Putting chocolate chunks in the center is a sweet surprise. We're pretty sure Santa (plus your family and friends) will love these.

- To make sure the chocolate coating is smooth and even, dip the snowball in the chocolate and then tap it gently on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
