A Holiday Favorite!
It should be no surprise we love love LOVE today’s Snowball Cookies (aka Russian Tea Cakes)! They are the ultimate Christmas cookie (right there with our Snickerdoodles and Frosted Sugar Cookies) and ones we make every year! They are so soft they almost melt in your mouth. Best yet, they are EASY!! You just need a handful of simple ingredients and a few minutes to make and shape the dough. The kids love to make them to dip in hot chocolate. YUM! This recipe yields about 30 cookies, so you’ll have plenty. 😉 They are similar to our Mexican Wedding Cookies and just as delicious!
