I got this recipe from a friend. She's a sweet lady, very nice and a hospital volunteer. She made them every year for our annual Christmas tea.

  • Step 2
    Add vanilla and food coloring. Beat until mixture becomes cloudy.
  • Step 3
    Drop onto buttered wax paper, foil or parchment in teaspoon sized pieces. Note: She uses mini-muffin pans and they look like small peanut patties.
