Gluten Free Almond Snowball Cookies

"My mom used to make these cookies when I was a kid, and they were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! I have never been able to get enough of them. They were the first cookie I’d choose every Christmas and overindulge in and never want to eat again (until the next year, of course!). Mom made them as almond crescent cookies, shaped like little moons. But I prefer them in perfect bite-size morsels. This year, as I was feeling festive, I asked her for the recipe. I thought I might be able to tweak it a bit to make it gluten free, and to my surprise, it wasn’t very difficult! And the result was an awesomely awesome cookie that still melts in your mouth and has that glorious almond taste."
