    These are amazing, and this recipe has been a part of our Christmas tradition for a decade now! Thank you Kupuggie! I was terribly upset as I lost the paper print out yesterday, and I'm so glad I found it again here. I originally found your recipe many years ago when trying to replicate Wegman's Italian snowball cookies, and dare I say, these are even better!! 10 gazillion stars!
