Butterballs

Recipe #302805 | 55 min | 20 min prep | 36 cookies (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Epi Curious

This recipe is from The Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. These are incredible...have eaten these at Julee Rosso's wonderful Wickwood Inn B&B in Saugatuk, MI, where the food alone is worth a stay in the charming inn. These are always on our cookie tray at the holidays.
