Making Snowballs

It started snowing again yesterday- not too much stuck to the ground, but it was a grand show while it lasted!

The fluffy snowflakes inspired the cookies we made that day. They are an old family recipe that goes by many-a-names: choke cookies, wedding cookies, lady fingers... you get the point. Yesterday I added a new name to that list: Snowflake Cookies. They are basically made of flour, butter and sugar (seriously, that's it) and when they are through baking, you roll them in powdered sugar while they are still warm.

So easy, so good!

Adi and Porter loved them. Piper, who is my sweet-addict, didn't much care for them. In fact, she popped a whole one into her mouth and then automatically spit it right back out.
