  1. These worked out really well, though I only got 40 out of the dough (I guess they were slightly bigger). Delicious and they look great!
     
  2. This is one of the best snowball recipes I've tried. I got exactly 48 cookies out of the batch. I baked these at my business and all I have there is a convection oven with a set moderate temperature, so these baked for more like 20 minutes in that oven. They came out perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks much for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
