Welcome to Day 9 of the Twelve Days of Cookies, things are really moving along quickly! Today’s feature is Snowball Cookies. These cookies are morsels of coconut dusted in powdered sugar and they melt in your mouth!
It snowed today in Wisconsin (that’s no surprise), and as I looked out a window at my office, it reminded me of these cookies. The snowflakes were falling ever so slowly through the air, it was mesmerizing to watch. It was one of those rare moments where you truly enjoy the winter weather.
