+====== Peppermint Snowballs ======
+/* Description */
+I adapted this recipe from a couple of others.
+<WRAP right>{(rater>id=100|name=Peppermint Snowballs|type=rate|headline=off)}</WRAP>
+|**Preheat:** 350°|**Yield:**  servings||
+|**Prep:** 0:00|**Wait:** 0:00|**Cook:** 0:00|
+====== Ingredients ======
+  * 1 cup butter
+  * 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
+  * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
+  * 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
+  * 2 cups all-purpose flour
+  * 1 cup chopped Pecans
+  * 1 cup finely crushed peppermint candy (for decoration)
+  * 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar for decoration (optional)
+  * White Chocolate (optional)
+  * 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, or as needed (optional)
+  * 1 1/2 tablespoons milk (optional)
+====== Directions ======
+  - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
+  - In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth.
+  - Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts.
+  - Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
+  - Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven.
+  - When cool, add toppings
+**Toppings:**
+  * **Powdered Sugar:** Roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. Can also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time.  Dip in crushed candy canes.
+  * **White Chocolate:** Melt white chocolate in microwave 30 seconds at a time at 50% power.  Dip cookies in white chocolate and then in crushed candy canes.
+  * **Sugar Glaze:** 1/2 cup confectioners sugar together with the milk in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle cooled cookies with the glaze, and sprinkle immediately with the remaining crushed peppermint candy.
+====== Notes ======
+  * If the dough is too crumbly, add a bit of milk to make it hold together better
+  * Some recipes skipped the nuts and peppermint extract, substituting crushed candy canes instead.
