WOW! 12 Days of Cookies...iwishyouweremymom!!
Since you've listed some of my *all-time favorite cookies
(truly...is there anything more superb & sublime than a Snickerdoodle??)
I know I want to try your recipes for a couple more:
Lemon Snowballs & Pecan Tarts

glad you liked the list. I will post recipes of those you requested later tonight when I finally arrive home....after 8

The Lemon Snowballs are tart and sweet, one of my very favorites. The Pecan Tarts, my family has made for years.

If you are brave, send me your address as you might get included in the next round of cookies. ;-) I have another Sowaller that I mail to on occasion.

The youngest gull loves homemade cookies, so I try to send some every 2 months. I also try to give away any I do not send her as I have no need to eat 4 dozen cookies myself!

Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours or overnight. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-12 min or until bottoms are lightly browned(cookies will not brown on top). Remove immediately to wire racks; cool for 5 minutes, then roll in confectioners' sugar. Makes about 3 doz.

1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. brown sugar

Crust:
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter,softened
1 c. plain flour

Mix cream cheese, butter, and flour by hand. Roll into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate to cool. Once dough is cool, use mini tart pans and place a dough ball into each muffin opening. Using fingers form individual crust.
