The holiday season is all about love, family, friends and COOKIES!!
Growing up, my mom made these Snowball Cookies that the family dubbed “Andreas Nutballs” (you had to be there). They are essentially, well, nutballs rolled in powdered sugar.
My husband LOVES these! So now, every year, my mom is obligated to make them for him. You know, so she doesn’t lose her “favorite mother-in-law” status.
