You might notice the cookies are um, green. Well, in my family, we’ve been dying them green for years. One year, my grandma tried dying them red, but we decided they looked like meatballs and never went back. They’re always green in my family, and they always have Texas pecans.

These cookies also go by the name snowball cookies, wedding cookies, crescent cookies, and Russian tea cakes (I believe walnuts are substituted in these). Quite simply, they are tender butter cookies that melt in your mouth. They deserve a place in the cookie buffet of Christmas.
