Surprise Snowball Cookies. Hershey Kisses hidden in the perfect dough and tossed in powdered sugar. Nothing about this makes any sense....its just all madness.....sweet, melt in your mouth madness. I love the crunchy bits of pecan, the powdered sugar coating my fingers, and the melty goodness of a Hershey's Kiss. All combined in one perfect cookie. You.Are.Welcome.

Eight. Eight cookie recipes in to my series and I have no self control. I love all the cookies and I just want to bake and watch Elf and drink coffee. I think I will continue to wear my lounge pants (glam-leisure!) and my apron and keep the oven on. It's a good life my friends, it's a good life.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in vanilla, flour, and chopped pecans. Mix until well combined.

Scoop out dough in 1-2Tbsp portions and roll in a ball. Flatten ball in your hand and place in 1 hershey kiss. Fold up dough around it and form back in to a ball.

Place cookies on baking sheet and bake for 10-11 minutes. You don't want the bottoms of the cookies to become more than a very light golden brown.

Cool cookies completely and roll in powdered sugar. I give my cookies two coats of the powdered sugar. Enjoy!
