Cookie Countdown - Wayne's Favorite Christmas Cookie

In December we'll call these cookies Snowballs, although most of the time I call them Russian Teacakes. They're also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes. However, whatever you want to call them, they symbolize Christmas cookies to Wayne, so it's the one cookie we make every year.  Here's the original post.
