Gooey Butter Cookies

It was another snow day today, no school... so time to make some cookies. I found this easy recipe online for Gooey Butter Cookies and the girls and I gave it a try. The girls had lots of fun rolling the dough into balls and coating them with powdered sugar. 12 minutes later... yummmmmmmmm, these cookies are sooooooooo good!

We took some cookies over to our neighbor and she called us right away saying how good they were and asked for the recipe.
