Snowball Cookies
This little recipe comes courtesy of My Little Cottage. I've seen different variations of this cookie all over the place with names such as "Snowman Poop", "Mexican Wedding Cookies", "Nutty Fingers", "Greek Kourabiedes", "Russian Tea Cookies", and "Sandtarts". These are a great over all cookie, they totally melt in your mouth and go great with an evening cup of hot chocolate since they're not very sweet. Box some of these up in a nice little decorative tin and anyone would be pleased to receive it as a Christmas present.
