Personal Notes:
The premier classic Christmas cookie! Gramma called them butterballs! As accurate as that might be, Charlotte did NOT want them called that, so they are Wedding Cookies in our family. Dan may have made thousands of these cookies over the years. It was not unusual for him to make 20 or 30 dozen at a time!
