Pecan + Almond Cookie Balls
Hello you guys!
I hope you are having an amazing #cookieweek. This recipe is very special for me. My Grandmother used to make them every year for the holidays so it brings back a lot of good memories, sitting around with my family having lots and lots of these little bites of heaven. They are DELICIOUS and I love making them around this time of the year because I feel like they are just the perfect representation of a white Christmas. Hope you enjoy!
