Mexican wedding cakes.
Russian tea cakes.
Snowballs.
Whatever you call them, they’re delicious. Little powdered sugar covered, walnut filled buttery balls of cookie deliciousness. I think these are my favorite cookies of all. I think. It’s like picking my favorite book or favorite song, though, so I might fall in love with a different cookie next week. It depends.
These cookies are DRY. They’re not moist. I would best describe them as tender. I point this out, because some people have noted, on recipe reviews, that these cookies are dry. Yes, they are. But they’re supposed to be.

Big Daddy and me plus our three little chicks. I'm a slightly obsessed, slightly scattered, homemaker crafting and cooking my way through busy days with our trio and grabbing at all of my loose ends. I hope to inspire struggling homemakers to embrace their inner crafty beast, to find some organization and rhythm and to tie all of their loose ends into pretty (though sometimes messy) bows.
Hi Jamie,
Love the recipes and the great photos of your kids. It looks like your house is filled with love and fun.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sorry my article freaked you out. I promise it isn’t a typical topic! Monday I showcase a Victorian angel project I’m working on :)
