Snowball Cookies

I love these cookies~! I usually make them for Christmas, since they look like little snowballs~ But they’re good for any time ^^ They’re also known as Russian Tea Cakes, or Mexican wedding cakes. I know we have some people here that don’t particularly like chocolate, so this is definately good for you XD
