Notes
The cookies aren’t on the sweet side, so don’t skimp on the powdered sugar.
Some people add some baking powder to the dough so the cookies rise higher, but I prefer mine without any leavening agent.
These keep well up to a week (that I know of) in a metal cookie tin.
I saw a recipe for snowball cookies a simple one no lard or wine but do you cook these cookies or just assemble?
