Snowball cookies (which are also know as Mexican wedding cookies) are always a favorite for the holidays!!!
Snowball Cookies
A couple of years ago I made Lemon Snowball Cookies so this year I decided to try nonflavored Snowball cookies!!! These are great finger food desserts for parties or stick them on a toothpick for a mess-free dessert!
These Snowball Cookies are my Mom's favorite holiday treat. I am pretty sure she could enjoy the entire plate of them if she had the chance.
I always remember making them with her growing up. I had the job of rolling them in the powdered sugar and you can imagine how much fun that was for a kid.
My Mom of course managed to make it a math lesson and had me measuring everything out and remeasuring it to learn fractions.
Still to this day when I am doing fractions I flashback to my parent's kitchen and flour and sugar everywhere. It was such a great hands-on learning lesson that turned into delicious cookies.
Ingredients:
- Butter
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- Flour
