Chocolate Snowballs
I found this recipe for Chocolate Snowballs while browsing one of my favorite recipe websites – Taste of Home. They looked so puffy, light, and easy to make…I just knew I had to try them.
The description for these cookies on the Taste of Home website says that they “melt in your mouth”…and they surely do. They are a wonderful cookie to enjoy for the holidays, or anytime of the year.
~Enjoy~

Ok, I think you are personally responsible for my holiday weight gain
You have so many great recipes that I want to make but it is only me and Hubby and he is gone during the week and I promise you, chocolate anything will not last long in this house even if I am the only inhabitant! Especially if it’s just me.
How do you bake as much as you do and not weigh 600lbs? I need your trick so I quit gaining or have to stop baking.
Haha….I’m not sure how I can bake so much and not weigh 600lbs, Delaney. I think I must have really high metabolism or something.
They look Yum!! I just HAVE to bake these…
