Butterballs image

This recipe is from The Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. These are incredible...have eaten these at Julee Rosso's wonderful Wickwood Inn B&B in Saugatuk, MI, where the food alone is worth a stay in the charming inn. These are always on our cookie tray at the holidays.

I'm not a big fan of butterballs, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The butterballs were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
