Christmas Pecan Snowball Cookies

This is a perfect Christmas cookie because it just looks like something you might see on a cookie tray at the dessert table. It not only looks tempting, but is delicious. And best of all—it’s easy.

If you’re using a White Christmas as your theme, this is a great cookie to go along with the theme. You might also want to try the Christmas Lily Cookie. Together, they would be perfect companions on a tiered serving piece.
