Because it’s never too early for Christmas cookies—especially the kind that melt in your mouth.
Okay, hear me out: it may only be September, but the chill in the air has me reaching for wool socks, oversized mugs of tea, and—most importantly—warm cookies straight from the oven. It feels like January out there, and honestly, I wouldn’t mind living inside my Cozy Pinterest Board right now. Blankets, twinkle lights, and a plate of these snowball cookies? Yes, please.
These little gems are a holiday staple in Spain, and yes, this is the second Spanish cookie recipe I’ve shared this week. Do I regret it? Not one bit. Spanish Christmas treats are wildly underrated, and I’m on a mission to change that. You’ll be seeing more of them around here—maybe even a full-on Spanish recipe series. Paella, tortilla española, my dad’s legendary omelette (my brother swears it’s the best in the world)… I’m telling you, you’re missing out.
So let me know—would you be into a Spanish food series? I’d love to hear your thoughts. But first, let’s bake.
