3. In large bowl, combine flour, butter and vanilla; knead until well blended. Shape into one 11” log; cut into 1/4” slices. Lay a slice of dough in your hands and use your fingers to gently spread out. Place a chocolate-peanut butter ball in the center of the slice. Shape dough slice around filling, seal and roll into a ball with your hands. Roll the ball in the powdered sugar (add sprinkles if you’re making a holiday cookie), and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
