We call them "butterballs." When flattened, they're called "Mexican wedding cookies" (and the cookbook had other variations, maybe even the wrapped-around-a-kiss variety!). I believe they're from a BH&G cookbook from the 50s or 60s. My MIL makes an identical looking cookie, only she calls them sand tarts, and uses vanilla extract instead of almond, and it's SO different. Every time we're with them over the holidays, I look at her cookies, think "ahh, butterball, it's Christmastime", take a bite, and realize "Ack! Fooled again!" Luckily, my husband is content to eat 'my' version, so that's what I bake! :^)<br /><br />As far as buckeyes, I never knew of them growing up in the southwest. But this weekend, I bought some from my "cookie [and egg] lady" at our local farmer's market, so my children would not be similarly deprived! Buckeyes - if ya' can't beat, eat 'em! That's what we say around here. :^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174120.post-39383113664569952152006-12-22T12:41:00.000-05:002006-12-22T12:41:00.000-05:00I LOVE BUCKEYES!

My best buddy from school is headed to Arizona for THE GAME with her two OSU student children. I am definitely jealous!<br />Have a MERRY ONE~<br />Peace, QPQuakerPastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486781821198096490noreply@blogger.com
