My Favorite:: Snowball Cookies



You are probably busy wrapping gifts and finalizing your Christmas menu right about now, or like me packing for a little road trip.

I always get in the baking mood during the Holidays and I just can't stop.  I have packed two large containers of cookies to take to my family and look forward to baking with my mom on Christmas Eve. One of my favorites this time of year is snowball cookies.  My boys love when I make these, they have definitely become a tradition. *Beware of the mess they make when eating them!:)
