For our sales and marketing director Lori, nothing says Christmas like these snowball cookies. They're incredibly easy but so tasty that it's elbows out when they're served.
Snowball cookies have been a Christmas tradition for as long as I can remember. They were my favourite Christmas cookie growing up, and they’re still my favourite today. Whenever a plate of cookies appeared during the holiday season, my dad and I would immediately go for the snowballs—and they never lasted long! While my mom and sister had their own favourites, my dad and I always found ourselves competing for the last snowball on the plate. Now, I carry on the tradition by making them every year for my own family. Fittingly, my son has claimed them as his favourite cookie too, so the competition lives on! —Lori Dickson, director of sales and marketing
