Rum Butter Ball Cookie Recipe Video

My mother-in-law gave me this cookie recipe years ago and I have been making these tender pecan and chocolate-chip shortbreads every Christmas since. They are always gobbled up in no time and everyone fights for the last ones. They are simple to make and are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. So not only did I get the mother-in-law's wonderful son, I also got THE RECIPE!
