These festive butterball cookies are the same classic butterball cookies made with walnuts that my mother and aunts always made for the Holidays. Also known as snowball cookies, these are always a favorite for the Holidays or served at weddings.
We make all of the Holiday cookies at our house, our 10-year-old grandson, Tyler made these cookies from start to finish.
The traditional butterball cookies would be made with walnuts. But, Tyler had some other festive options, and they turned out to be delicious.
