Amareto Butter Balls

"These cookies are fragrant with Amaretto/almond flavoring with a buttery flaky cookie that melts in your mouth. During the holiday this is the prettiest cookie on the holiday tray. It's snowy appearance gives the feeling of Christmas excitement and the flavors will not disappoint. There are several kinds similar that are called Snowballs, Mexican Tea Cakes, Russian Sugar Balls, and Pecan Butter Balls. Nuts like toasted pistachios or almonds can be added and on occasion, we also have added chopped maraschino cherries to the batter. "
