This is a hybrid of two different recipes. I saw the idea for Pot of Gold Cookies over on Your Southern Peach. I loved how they looked but I’m not a fan of raw cookie dough. (I know, don’t hate me.) So I used the idea but changed up the recipe.
I love how they turned out!
We used my favorite recipe for Russian Tea Cakes (aka: snowball cookies or Mexican Wedding Cakes.)

When the cookies were cooled I dipped them in melted chocolate and then gold sugar crystals. My kids loved them!
