Do you love those Snowball Sandies as much as I do this time of year. They go by a lot of different names: Butterballs, Mexican Wedding Cakes, Russian Tea Cakes, etc. but however you say it, they are just darn good!
So when I saw a recipe for them in Gooseberry Patch’s Gifts from the Kitchen, I knew Miss Add and I would be whipping up a batch for Daddy’s co-workers! (Psst… have you entered to win a copy of Gifts from the Kitchen yet?)
Snowball Sandies
It is amazing what a little bit (okay a lot) of butter and sugar can create… This recipe for Snowball Sandies creates a tender cookie vs. those harder store bought ones you may have had before. Puddie even had co-workers (Hi John!) tell him that they don’t like snowball cookies but they loved these!
