The season is officially upon us. If you are reading this, you may be one of those people (like me!) that likes to give festive food during the holidays. Giving cookies can be alot of fun, and nowdays, there are so many creative and inexpensive containers out there in which to present them. Generally I live to give a little variety of cookies. But if you are pressed for time, and cannot do that, these, all by themselves, will do very well. They are my favorite!

Notes: You may also find these as "Mexican Wedding Cookies". Some recipes call for flattening them out, but I find their shape appealing and different, especially if you are presenting these as part of a variety of cookies. Also, you can substitute the powdered sugar for powdered cocoa, and do a contrast of white and dark.
WORD OF CAUTION: These things are ADDICTING!
