These were not a Christmas cookie at home. Grandma used to make these for us for as long as I can remember, and Mom too. Like all the time – when we went to Grandma’s we expected butter balls. I hadn’t had them for years, then my cousin Kathy made them one year for Christmas, so now they are a Christmas cookie!
