Lemon Snowball Cookies

I’ve been super good about staying away from sweets lately, but thanks to a little weather pattern called El Nino, we’ve had rain almost every day this week, and it’s not over yet. Almost makes me want to go out and buy and ark!

So, I was in the mood to bake. And, I just happened to have some crushed walnuts in the fridge that were left over from nut rolls I made before Christmas. Plus, we never got around to making these little powdered sugar cookies during the holidays, and I promised my oldest baby that we would make a batch before she went back to school.

Since I have been sipping lemon water throughout the day, I thought it would be a nice change to add some lemon to the cookies. It definitely gives them a little extra zing, which is perfect for this time of year. It’s almost like getting an instant mood boost with each bite!
