We skipped Sunday making cookies as my family was about to kill me. Never thought they would be sick of cookies!
We made Snowball cookies today, and I forgot how good these are! Make them smaller so you don’t feel so bad eating the entire plate!
-Pin me!
My first batch was a little dry, so I added a little more butter. I think mine was too cold the first time around.
These are so traditionally Christmas for me, I forget I can make these anytime!

These are the best cookies. I make these every year also. They just melt in your mouth. I grew up knowing them as mexican wedding cakes. My SIL calls them pecan balls since that is the nut she uses in them. YUM!
I’ve also heard them called sand tarts. YUM is right!
Next time, try putting a Hershey Kiss in the middle. Just wrap the dough all of the way around the kiss and make a ball. My Grandma calls them “Secret Kiss cookies”. They are amazing!
good idea Im so trying this!
I make these every year but I add mini chocolate chips YUMMY!
We called them Noel Nutballs growing up. The kiss in the middle sounds really good. I also think lemon extract would be good in them too.
