Snowball Cookies

I am making these for a family get together.  This kind of snow I can like!  We are split at my Asylum-two of us like snow and two of us don't.  At least I have someone to share in the misery when we can't see across the pasture or the neighbors house is something we thought was once there!  Last year we went 4 days with no running water and no electricity.  I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.


This recipe comes from Setting For Four.
