Recipe: Old-Fashioned Maple Walnut Butter Balls
Description: These little maple balls are so buttery, they just melt in your mouth! Better make a double recipe of the delicious cookies, cause you’re going to need lots! If you don’t have any maple extract on hand, just use 2 tsp vanilla instead, it just won’t have the maple flavoring, but they are still great.
