Happy Sunday! I can’t believe we’re so close to finishing up the 12 days of Christmas cookies. Today I’m sharing with you all another recipe that my Mom makes for us every year, Pecan Sandies Snowballs. They are one of mine and my dad’s favorites. She literally has written on the recipe in her old Better Homes Cook Book, “Jamie and Jordan’s favorite.”

The best part about these cookies is that they aren’t too sweet but they’re also so nutty and buttery in flavor. They’re one those cookies that you can eat a dozen of without dying of sugar overdose and be like, “Whoops..” These little bites of heaven very closely resemble the classic Italian Wedding Cookie, except for these feature buttery pecans instead of almonds.

One thing I do have to warn you about though… Well, other than eating way too many of them, is choking on the powdered sugar. My Dad and I have both fallen victim to the good ol’ powdered sugar choke. Don’t get so excited while eating these cookies that you inhale the powdered sugar down the wrong pipe! You’ve been warned.

Enjoy, friends!
