Ceciles Rich Butter Balls Recipes

NUTTER BUTTER BALLS (TRUFFLES)

Steps:

• Add the Nutter Butters to a food processor and process until a fine crumbs forms. Reserve 1 tablespoon of crumbs for topping, if desired.
• Add in the cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter and process until combined.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and continue until all of the mixture is in ball form.
• Add the melting wafers to a bowl and melt on 30-second intervals stirring between each addition until smooth.
• Use a spoon and fork to dip each of the balls in the chocolate and gently slide off the fork onto the parchment paper to set.
• After every 4th ball, top the balls with Nutter Butter crumbs, sprinkles or sea salt before the chocolate sets.
• Allow the balls to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until hardened or place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
• Store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

BUTTER BALLS II

Steps:

• Beat butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add flour, and beat at low speed until well blended, stir in pecans.
• Shape into one inch balls. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Remove and put on wire rack to cool. Roll in confectioners' sugar when cool.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS II

Steps:

• Mix together peanut butter, butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Shape into 1 inch balls.
• Melt chocolate chips and shortening in top of double boiler. Dip balls into chocolate mixture and let dry on waxed paper. (Poke each ball with a toothpick for easier dipping.)

BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Grind walnuts very fine. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla.
• Add flour and nuts alternately. You may have to mix by using your hands to really get it all mixed together well.
• Roll into small balls, approximately 1-inch.
• Place on cookie sheet, ungreased. You can usually fit a lot of cookies on the cookie sheet because they do not spread that much.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, have a bowl of powdered sugar ready for when the cookies come out of the oven.
• When cookies are brought out of the oven, allow to cool for maybe a minute until you can pick them up without breaking them. Roll in powdered sugar and place them on wax paper. Cool.
• I also like to roll them in powdered sugar a second time when they are completely cool.
