Snowballs, Roly Poly, Mexican Wedding Cookies. This is a popular recipe that goes by many different names. It is always the first cookie I bake when I start the Christmas Cookie Baking. It is my Mom's recipe and every year I always wish I had made more of them. A perfect little bite of a shortbread cookie that is baked and then rolled in confectionary sugar. It is simply a perfect cookie.
