Chocolate Snowball Cookies 巧克力雪球
I have made melt-in-your mouth Snowball Cookies before but that was 3 years ago. So this time, I tried to make this shortbread Chocolate Snowball Cookies. They are not very sweet and so easy to make especially when you have kids who like to hang around, help and enjoy making them with you. They are extra yummy due to the cocoa fragrance and added crunch from the walnuts. If you prefer, you can add in some chocolate chips. Not only do they look nice and unique but will also serve as a perfect gift for Christmas too.
Wishing everyone of you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
