Snowball Cookies: A Delightful Winter Treat

Snowball cookies (also known as Mexican wedding cookies or Russian tea cakes) are a delightful winter treat! These bite-sized cookies are buttery, crumbly, and coated in powdered sugar – just like little snowballs. Their melt-in-your-mouth texture and delicate flavor pair perfectly with hot cocoa or tea. This recipe covers the traditional version, plus keto/low-carb adaptations.
