These are one of my favorite and a staple in my cookie baking. Some call them snowballs (perfect name for this time of year) or Mexican Wedding Cakes, but regardless of their name they are the easiest cookies to make and don’t require many ingredients to make at all. Plus, they are super tasty 🙂
2. OREO-Peppermint Bark
Don’t these just look delicious?!? This one I am for sure trying.
