Snowball Cookie Layered Pancake Jars Recipes

SNOWBALLS IN A JAR

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and flour. Place into a 1 quart canning jar. Put the chopped pecans on top. Close the lid and attach a tag with the following instructions:
• Snow Balls
• Makes 4 dozen
• Preheat the oven to 325°F Grease cookie sheets. In a medium bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of shortening and 1/4 cup of margarine. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Add the entire contents of the jar and mix well. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool, and roll in confectioners' sugar.

SNOWBALL COOKIE LAYERED PANCAKE JARS

Steps:

• To make Cookie Pancake Mix, mix Bisquick mix, baking powder and granulated sugar in medium bowl.
• In clean quart jar, add powdered sugar, followed by Bisquick mixture, and finally chopped pecans. Press each layer down with back of spoon to gently compact it before adding the next layer. Top the jar with a lid and ring.
• To make the pancakes, dump Bisquick mixture and pecans into large bowl, reserving powdered sugar for topping. Add milk, egg, vanilla and butter, and stir until combined. Batter will be a little lumpy.
• Pour by 1/3 cupfuls onto greased hot skillet. Cook until edges are dry and bubbles appear on the surface, about 3 minutes. Turn, and cook on other side 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes with generous sprinkling of powdered sugar and, if desired, maple syrup.

SNOWBALLS II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
