Grandma Sue's No-Bake Snowball Cookies
My grandma Sue used to always send these to me at summer camp and every time I make them they remind me of her. Ugh, she was truly the best. These treats are only a few ingredients and hit every flavor note. Sweet, crunchy, creamy, tangy, and salty. They are truly divine.
They’re a great snack to have around the house all year round, but they’re especially enjoyable for the holidays. These cookies are a perfect sweet treat for your guests to snack on when they arrive or served as an additional easy holiday dessert. But if you’re holiday is looking a bit different this year and you won’t be celebrating in person, these cookies ship really well (trust me, they made it to summer camp every year). I love sending out cookie boxes around the holidays, and Grandma Sue’s cookies are the perfect ‘holiday card’ to let loved ones know you’re thinking of them.
