NUTTY ORANGE SNOWBALLS
These nutty, buttery cookies will melt in your mouth, leaving just a trace of orange flavor. An old recipe from my mom in North Dakota, they used to be reserved only for weddings and special occasions. But they're great for Christmas because they look just like snowballs! -Judith Weidner, Spearfish, South Dakota

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Position rack in the middle of the oven.
- Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and beat until incorporated. Beat in the orange zest and corn syrup.
- Add the dry ingredients in two two batches, beating until the dough is well mixed.
- With your hands shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for an hour.
- On a lightly floured board, roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick, if you like a thicker cookie then roll out thicker and adjust your cooking time. With a floured cookie cutter of your choice, cut out cookies and place them 1 1/2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. If you wish, sprinkle with crystal sugar.
- Reroll the scrapes only one time, or the dough will become tough. The more you handle the dough, the tougher it will get.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, turning the cookie sheets halfway through the baking time.
- Cool the cookies on the sheet, set on racks. Store in airtight containers.
- The size of your cookie cutter will determine how many cookies you end up with.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Tip the pecans into a food processor and blitz until they resemble a rough powder. Tip into a bowl and stir in the flour.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter, caster sugar and orange zest together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the flour and pecan mix and stir with a wooden spoon until everything comes together in a rough dough. Shape into 10 even-sized balls and put on the tray.
- Bake for 15 mins until set but the top is still pale in colour. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 mins, then, once cool enough to handle, gently roll the balls in the icing sugar and return to the tray. Leave to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days. Dust with more icing sugar just before serving.
