Taste of the Past

Here is an old-time recipe by Easy Family Recipes. I found this recipe on the Pinterest website. This is an easy recipe for cookies that is different from other traditional Christmas Cookies. These snowball cookies are soft, buttery treats that melt in your mouth.. The origins of Snowball Cookies, also known as Polvorones or Mantecados in Spain, are a traditional holiday treat with centuries of history. I hope you enjoy these gems.
