This was a very easy recipe. All of my guests loved it. The bourbon added a nice zing and they are even better the next day. These are less like a cookie and more like truffles. I made 64 balls from the recipe, but they are small, remember this is more like candy than a cookie. You simply have to divide your 8x8 pan into 8 squares across by 8 squares down. five stars

I made this recipe for a Cookie exchange. They taste GREAT! However, I had to make 180 cookies and I have to tell you they DO NOT YIELD 5 doz. So, if you need an exact amount you should only plan this recipe to make about 2 1/2 doz. Save yourselve a trip to the store. five stars

We loved them, and they disappeared quick! I must have made the balls larger because I did not yield 48. I ended up making it three times! I had to use pecans in the last batch and my husband said he liked them better so I think any chopped nut would work. I used the disposable alun 8 x 8 pan and it pealed right off and left no messy pan to clean up. They look beautiful, too. five stars

They are delicous and everyone loves them. I must have made the balls larger because I didn't end of with 5 doz. I ended up making three batches. They are easy to make and look really pretty on the plate. five stars

My wife WILL be making these again. The bourbon is perfect, especially since we used Woodford Reserve. It goes a LONG way towards adding to the flavor, so don't overdo the bourbon.
My office manager BEGGED me to have my wife give her the recipe, and she wouldn't share her snowballs--with ANYONE!
Great recipe! five stars
