This year I am giving tins of cookies as gifts. I am cutting back on spending so I can make a donation to help drill water wells in Mozambique, where thousands of people die every year as a result of drinking contaminated water.I have a few favorite cookie recipes, but one that everyone loves are Mexican Wedding Cookies--those little round bites covered in powdered sugar. They are easy to make but in our family are called Bullets. The first time my mom made them, she did something wrong, and they came out hard as rocks. When my dad tried one, he told my mom not to worry, they wouldn't go to waste, 'cause he would use them for bullets. Well, the name stuck.
Here is the recipe that I use
Bullets (Mexican Wedding Cookies) Daddy's Favorite
