Pecan snowball cookies

 As you know that I'm so busy lately (well not about my work , but I have a lot of things that I want to do).

I just came back from Japan last week, and now I'm preparing for my UK and Cambodia trip, haha. And suddenly I remember that I still didn't finish writing about my Hong Kong trip -*-. Anyway I will try my best to do everything!!!! 
But today, I want to eat cookie, haha. Actually, yesterday I thought about cookie that's suitable for Christmas, and snowball came to my mine. This buttery, sweet and cute cookie is great for giving, you can use other kind of nut in this recipe too (walnut or almond are good choice too).
If you don't want it to be sweet, you can skip covering this cookie with icing sugar, it will be less cute but still delicious.
