Best Christmas Snow Drop Cookies Recipes
CHRISTMAS SNOW DROP COOKIES
From "Pots & Pipkins," which is older than my daughter and from Virginia. A Christmas must have for this family...similar to a Mexican wedding cookie or a pecan sandy. We prefer the almonds (I have used both slivered and whole) to save the pecans for other Christmas desserts!
