Christmas Butterball Cookies
My Christmas Butterball Cookies can be rolled into powdered sugar, left plain for a less sweet cookie or even add nuts for even more flavor. A wonderful cookie to have on a Christmas cookie tray or to serve to guests. This is the 6th cookie recipe of about 15 that I will be posting.

I started my Christmas baking yesterday and these are on my agenda for today. With chopped pecans, I call them pecan dreams. So yummy.

I make these every year for my mother in law. She’s like you, her favorite too! What ever is left after Christmas Day I give to her to take home.

Yes but just because I only put out about 8 cookies on my tray. She loves them so much I actually save the rest so she can take them home. See what a good daughter in law I am…lol

Enjoy GP they are easy to make. I always freeze them without powdered sugar. When I take them out of the freezer I roll them in the sugar and wipe off the excess. When the thaw they look and taste perfect.

They are and not so sickening sweet for the people that don’t like sweet. I make these for my mother in law, she’s 91!

Kevin you won’t believe how simple these are. They don’t rise or spread out so you can put the entire recipe on one cookie sheet pan. Add crushed nuts and roll in powdered sugar for an extra treat! This is perfect for guests. You’re welcome Kevin!

Thanks for sharing because I lost my recipe and am skeptical of recipes on the web that I don’t know anyone who has tested it.
My granddaughter is going to help me make three different recipes this week and this will be one of them. We made Chocolate Chip yesterday.😊

I think these are similar to wedding cake cookies Diane? I like Pepperidge Farm wedding cake cookies – Pepperidge Farm cannot keep their cookies stocked on grocer’s shelves this year as people are scooping them up as fast as they hit the shelves. That surprised me as I thought people were baking more this year due to the pandemic.

Yes they are like the Mexican wedding cake cookies. I’m not sure Pepperidge Farms is selling out or they just aren’t making as many??? With social distancing a lot of companies have cut back but they do have good cookies…lol BTW made the front page with my blog!

Yes, the Mexican wedding cookies. No, not selling out but they said people were stocking up and they can’t have as many people in their factories making/packaging, etc. so they’ve cut back. They didn’t have the Christmas cookies out when I was last at the grocery store – I got extra Nutter Butters and have decorated them for Christmas and some gingerbread cookies. That is exciting Diane! I’m glad the photo shoot went well. Your grandchildren already thought you were a star – even more now! I am going to search for it now as I don’t think you’ll feature it in your blog.
