JAM-FILLED SNOWBALL COOKIES
These snowball cookies are sweet and flaky, and have a delicious surprise in the middle: sweet jam! You can choose your favorite flavor to use for the filling, but my favorite is strawberry jam. Chopped pecans add a little crunch to these snowball cookies. They are perfect for an afternoon snack. I prefer them warmed up and served with tea.
