Mexican Wedding Cakes (Russian Tea Cakes, Snowballs)

These delightful treats are a snap to make and disappear quickly.  I modified this recipe by omitting nuts (experimenting with allergy free snacks for Butterfly's preschool).  Also, used 3/4 tsp of Vanilla and 1/4 tsp Almond Extract.  Rolled the balls in powdered sugar when they were still warm from oven and rolled again once they were cool. 

Butterfly and I made half to keep and half to give to our friendly credit union banker.  They'd be awesome served at a shower, wedding, birthday or holiday party.  My husband thought they were just perfect with coffee!
