Hello everyone,
It was a mild but very rainy day here today so I thought it would be a good day to bake some cookies for the annual cookie exchange that I have been in the past few years. I am making Swedish Butter Balls again this year because not only are they good but they are easy to make too.
We might as well try one with a cup of tea.

my cloche is new from tjmaxx
I'm having fun with my camera again!
Now I will be nice and share the recipe for these lovely melt in your mouth Swedish Butterballs.

1/2cup sifted icing sugar

2. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. place on cookie sheet.Bake for 8-12 minutes at 400 degrees until light golden. Cool and then roll in icing sugar .
