Mexican Wedding Cookies

This recipe is my own spin on the popular snowball cookie recipe my grandmother used to make every year for Christmas.

You can find many versions similar to hers, both online and in cookbooks, and they often go by different names, including Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, Butterballs, Polvorones, Meltaways, and–of course–Snowball Cookies.
For vegan snowball cookies, simply use either coconut oil or vegan butter in the recipe. There are no eggs or milk required, so no need to worry about replacing those.
