GLITTER BALLS

My sister, Danielle Hazen, was just learning to cook at the time my mom and I threw a cookie swap. She found a recipe very similar to this online and my mom helped her tweak it to make it her own. Here is the recipe as it was given to me. If it matches someone else's it is unintentional. Thanks.
