DOES ANYONE HERE ACTUALLY STILL EAT Snowball Cookies

Absolutely — Snowball Cookies (aka Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, or Butterballs) are still very much alive and well in many kitchens, especially during the holidays. Are they trendy? No. Are they timeless? Yes.

Why People Still Love Snowball Cookies:

• Nostalgia: Grandma made them. Mom made them. Now you make them. They’re comfort food.

• Simple Ingredients: Butter, powdered sugar, flour, and nuts. No fuss.

• They freeze well and store for days — perfect for gifting or holiday trays.

• Powdered sugar explosion: That first bite is messy in the best way.

• Customizable: Pecans, walnuts, almonds — even chocolate chips or matcha if you’re feeling wild.

Who’s Eating Them?

• Midwestern holiday parties

• Cookie exchanges

• Weddings (yes, really — hence “wedding cookies”)

• Coffee table trays in homes that still use doilies

• And let’s be honest — people who want a cookie that isn’t trying too hard

If you’re wondering whether people should still be eating them — that’s another question. 😄 But yes, snowball cookies are still part of the cookie universe. Want a classic recipe or a remix version?
