Snowball Cookies

Have you ever tried a Snowball cookie? You might also know it as a Russian Tea Cup or Mexican Wedding Cake. If your answer is no, then here is your chance. Today I am sharing my recipe with you along with 40+ other cookie recipes from some of my blogger friends.

So you may be wondering what exactly is a Snowball cookie, Russian Tea Cup or Mexican Wedding Cake? It is a shortbread, buttery type cookie that I really love. They are so yummy! My little sassy pants Natalie helped me bake today. I have fond memories of baking with my Grandmother when I was little. We would both put on our aprons and bake for hours.

 After cookies are coated with the powdered sugar let cool on cooling rack.
