Snowball Cookies: A Delightful Winter Treat

Snowball cookies (also known as Mexican wedding cookies or Russian tea cakes) are the perfect winter treat! These bite-sized delights are buttery, crumbly, and coated in powdered sugar – just like little snowballs. Their melt-in-your-mouth texture pairs perfectly with hot cocoa or tea. This recipe offers a classic version and variations for keto/low-carb diets.
