A very Lemony Snowball Cookie. YUM! Very simple to create. Do not fail to crush the Lemon Drop Candy (not cough drops - CANDY!) prior to making the dough! It's a fun cookie for little guys. In place of just leaving the raw dough round like a 'ball' - place your thumb to the side of the dough, pull each end into points (then it looks like a 1/4 moon). Bake the same way as instructed for the Snowballs. Always remember to roll a 2nd. time in the powdered sugar, just after taking out of the oven. Cool 10 more min.; then roll in the remaining 1/4 c. crushed Lemon Drops. Rolling the hot cookies in the powdered sugar, causes the 'snow' to adhere to the warm cookies. Enjoy!
