Books & Spoons recipe for SNOWBALL COOKIES

I wanted to share with you a quick and easy cookie recipe for the midweek madness of holiday preparations. 
Even though these cookies are made with butter, there is a delightful lightness to them.  They remind me of snowballs, and if you make them small enough they are the perfect one bite delight!
You can either dress them with nuts like I did with the pecans, or you can make tiny balls and then roll them powdered sugar, or you can make fork pattern on them as serve as is or you can drizzle melted chocolate on them... A great recipe for many for cookies that you can dress the way you please or make one big batch of dough and then a variety of cookies out of it. 
These cookies have a great shelf life, if you manage not to eat them, and they actually get even better with time, so perfect to make a big batch and then enjoy as the mood strikes. 
I hope you enjoy this one, there are lots of recipes for holiday baking here at the website, just type 'baking' into the search bar, or cookies, or cakes, or fudge, and click away. 
Till next time
~ Cheers
