Who doesn’t love a good cookie? These snowball cookies make a delicious snack!
I liked this recipe because it uses the box cake mixes that always go on sale at the grocery stores! They came together pretty quick. If I had rotated 2 baking sheets at a time in the oven, it would have gone faster. They are cute and fun, and the perfect size to pop in your mouth. I have already had my fair share! I need to save some for the rest of my family.
Snowball Cookies Recipe:
I love baking in my pajamas in a quiet house. Clay took Ella to the movies, and I whipped these up while Emme was taking a nap. If I had thought about it, my iPod would have been a nice addition to that scenario! The cookies are done, and now I’m relaxing with a cup of coffee watching Emme play with some new toys. Yep…I love Saturday!
