Christmas Hazelnut Snowball Cookies

I don't seem to be able to have enough recipes for Christmas Cookies.
I enter a Holiday Cookie contest every year. This will be my 10th year as a finalist.

Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
A Sheet Pan lined with Parchment Paper
A  1 1/2"  Cookie Scoop

16 TBS Butter, room temperature.
1/3 C Granulated Sugar
2 C Flour
2 C Roasted, Chopped Hazelnuts. (recipe to follow)
2 TBS  Finely Grated Zest of 1 Navel Orange. (I use a Microplane)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 C Confectioner's Sugar for Dusting/Rolling. (in a small mixing bowl)

In a Stand Mixer with a Whisk Attachment:
Butter
Sugar
Mix until well combined and Creamy Smooth.

Add:
Flour
Hazelnuts
Zest
Vanilla
Beat until well combined.
Cover and Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Drop the Dough, using the Cookie Scoop, onto the Parchment Paper.

Bake 30 - 35 minutes.

Remove the Pan to a Rack to Cool for 5 minutes

Roll the Cookies in the Confectioner's Sugar.
Return them to the Rack to Cool Completely. (10 Minutes)

Roll them in Sugar again.

Transfer them to a Parchment Paper lined, Covered Container until Serving.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
