Gluten-Free Snowball Cookies

Always part of my Christmas baking. These snowball cookies are simple and delicious. Handle carefully when they are still warm, as they tend to crumble easily until the cook and set.

Description

Snowball cookies are also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes, or Russian teacakes. These are rich, nutty, soft cookies that will literally melt in your mouth. Perfect for your Christmas cookie tray!
