The best snowball cookies ever! I made this recipe last year and I got compliments all across the board! These cookies are easy to make and delicious! I'm getting ready to make them again and I just needed a fresh print out! This recipe is a Nestle House recipe.

I make these too! I bought the striped morsels last year and the cookies looked so fun on my cookie platter. I also made these for my sisters bridal shower- They are also very versatile.I colored the dough pink and used white chips.

I make these cookies every holiday season and wanted to post the recipe for safekeeping. Now I don't have to. 5 stars, Katie, all the way. Thanks. ~From Srb in the Motor City

I have a recipe similar to this and I wanted to try them with the morsels. We preferred them with out. It made them way overwhelmingly sweet for our tastes. Sorry. Thanks for sharing though
