Thank you!! This is one of my family's favorite recipes for Christmas cookies and I lost the card that the recipe was on. This looks just like the recipe that I had but I substitute vanilla extract for the almond extract because my brother's allergic to nuts. These are great, quick and easy. And very addictive! -
My mother and I have been making these for years. A Christmas baking staple in our family. We call them Cape Breton Balls. Our friends and family call them FAT Balls as they are a decadent waist line expanding treat. My girls love to help make them and their little hands are perfectly suited for this super easy recipe.

<br>I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
