Mom's "Snowballs"
Why I Love This Recipe
These Cookies remind me of a cookie my mother used to make at Christmas time. I don't have her recipe, but this is pretty close. I got this recipe from the McCall's cookbook but tweaked it a bit :)

1/3 C. Sugar
1 t. Almond Extract

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease cookie sheets. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Gently beat in egg. Add flour, 1 cup at a time and beat. Add all other ingrediants and beat until well blended. With hands, shape into a 1" ball and place 1" apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until just delicately browned...
