I might just love cookies as much as I love pie, and that’s saying a lot. But okay, let’s admit it. Healthy cookies taste, well, healthy. Not these babies! They are made with REAL, nutrient-dense ingredients, and they’re to die for. Crispy, buttery, scrumptious.
These cookies go by a lot of names – Snow Balls, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Butterballs, and Russian Tea Cakes. But they’ve always been Russian Tea Cookies to me. Ok, enough talking about them; let make them:

Do these freeze well? Can I make them ahead?

Yes, absolutely. I also steal them from the freezer and eat them frozen. 🙂
