Sometimes she made thumbprints with raspberry jam before sprinkling them with the powdered sugar. She also made them in crescent shapes, and occasionally added cocoa powder to make them chocolatey for me (I was and still am a chocoholic!). My siblings and I (along with Grampa's help finding them) would sneak them from the Tupperware container she tried to hide in her closet, while she was busy baking other treats for the holiday food-coma. She called us all liars when we denied it, but there's no denying the sugary snow-like mess they left on our Christmas outfits! Thanks for the memories, I look forward to sharing this tradition with my children and theirs for years to come...
