Looking for a unique cookie to compliment to your usual holiday baking?

I love ‘snowball cookies’ on the holiday cookie tray. My favourite has to be these Double Chocolate Snowballs I made last year. They look so cute, round and really messy with a thick coat of icing sugar. It goes all over your hands, but is totally worth it!

These Mandarine Orange Snowballs can be made with any dried fruit that you like: pineapple, apricots, cherries or even dates.

Mandarin Orange Snowballs_1 I have s soft spot for Mandarin or Clementine oranges around the holidays… see my post Clementine-Chocolate Dipped  Shortbread Cookies. I found these dried mandarin orange slices at my local Costco store and just had to try them… results were yummy!
