Description

These sweet, nutty treats are a tradition in our house at Christmastime, but they are great any time of the year. —Alberta McKay, Bartlesville, Oklahoma

I also make a recipe just like this, but they are called Russian Tea Cakes. They are my daughters favorite Christmas cookie.

I grew up calling these pecan sandies. I love them but have a hard time staying out of them! Irresistible!

This is the classic recipe for Mexican Wedding Cakes or Butterballs. This recipe has been around for many, many years. One of our favorites! You cant go wrong with this cookie!

Soft cookies that melt in your mouth. Easy to make.

I make these every year and they are absolutely delicious!

Yummy, yum, yum!!

I just made these a couple days ago. I followed the recipe exactly as written and they turned out great! I was concerned that the dough was too dry and crumbly to roll, but I just dusted my hands with some powdered sugar and used a small cookie scoop to help me form the balls. I did find that it was easier to use the scoop while the dough was at room temperature instead of chilling it in the fridge first. Even a couple days later they are still being enjoyed by my friends and family!

I have made these for Christmas for several years and everyone just loves them. They are so easy to make and so easy to eat!!! Great recipe!

Make these every year. I have no trouble rolling them and I follow this recipe exactly. Absolutely wonderful cookie.

Didn't quite get 4 dozen, but I never get as many cookies as a recipe specifies. They certainly melt in your mouth and I was surprised at how few ingredients there are in these. I'll be making these around the holidays for sure.
