Jam-Filled Snowball Chirstmas Cookies

Merry Christmas! Today I am sharing my favorite Christmas cookie recipe: jam-filled snowball cookies! You may remember my “snowball surprise cookies” that have a chocolately surprise in the middle, but I prefer to fill them with jam. My favorite jam to use is strawberry – yum! These snowball cookies are buttery and flaky, with a few pecans to give them a little crunch. Roll them twice in powdered sugar for a sweet coating.

I wish you and your families and friends a very Merry Christmas!!
