Snowball Cookies

Madelyn Burstell

Mrs. Golrick, an AP Chemistry teacher, likes to make Snowball Cookies.  She says, “My mom has made them for Christmas as long as I can remember, and they are a favorite to make with my kids since they are super easy, and you get to roll them in powdered sugar (fun…and messy)!”
