Peanut Butter Snowballs
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the peanut butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the cookies remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then gently roll them in powdered sugar while still warm.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely and roll again in powdered sugar to create a snowy coating.

Tips:
Use room temperature butter and peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother dough.
For a crunchier texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.
