Notes: Along with Peanut Butter Buckeyes, these are my least favorite cookie to make, but unfortunately, it is one of the cookies my family wants the most at Christmas time besides the Ginger cookies. It must be the twice rolling in powdered sugar and it doesn’t make very many, so you have to make lots of batches! They come out better in single batches. This is not a sweet cookie but like shortbread. Also some would just get bigger and bigger because i got tired of rolling!.
