A Dash of Holiday Magic with Snowball Cookies

First up on my baking list? The classic Snowball Cookies. These little delights, dusted in powdered sugar, are like tiny snowflakes that melt in your mouth. They're the perfect combination of buttery goodness and nutty crunch wrapped in a sweet, snowy coat.

I had a blast giving my own twist to these cookies, keeping true to the family recipe while adding a pinch of Tiff flair. The process was as heartwarming as the result. There's something truly special about bringing a family recipe to life in your own kitchen.
