Time 42m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup hard peppermint candy, finely crushed
1 ounce cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon milk
1 drop red food coloring
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted and divided

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have baking sheets ready.
  • To make cookie: beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. On low speed, gradually beat in flour. Chill 30 minutes or until firm.
  • To make filling: mix candy and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Mix cream cheese and milk until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of candy mixture, and 1 drops food coloring.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Make deep hole in the center of each ball using fingertip or handle of a wooden spoon. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of the filling. (I find the easiest way to do this is with a pastry bag) Bake 12 to 14 minutes until set, but not brown (do not let filling bubble over top of cookies). Roll in remaining candy mixture while still hot. Cool on wire racks.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I actually really enjoyed these snowballs. They're not too minty and they have a nice, creamy texture.
