Italian Amaretto Butter Cookies

These Italian Amaretto Butter Cookies are a basic butter cookie that melts in your mouth with the first bite.

The popular butterball cookie is perfect for the holiday and back in the 1960s were referred to as snowballs.

This easy recipe can be modified easily with flavoring and nuts of choice but always dusted at the end and rolled into a snowy powdered sugar.

They make the perfect addition to any cookie tray around the holiday season.
