Before I had kids, when I actually had extra time, I would bake up a storm. I loved doing it and at Christmas time especially, I would bake for days. Nowadays I am much busier but I always make sure I bake Christmas cookies. It may not be the hundreds that I use to make, but I still make a few different kinds. The one cookie that I think is my specialty that I make sure I bake every year are my Snowball Cookies (also called Russian Tea Cakes). They are SO good. They aren’t overly sweet and they are something I feel like everyone loves. Here is my go to snowball cookie recipe I have been making for the past 15 years and they come out perfect every time.
