Since Easter is nigh, I made these treats to send to my far-flung daughter. I omit the nut flour entirely - they travel better that way - and for Easter, I divided the dough into thirds, dyed each third a pastel color, and formed the balls into oval egg shapes. After baking, I double-rolled in the powdered sugar and the pastel colors were even more delicate. I packed them in a cellophane bag and cushioned them with Easter grass in a close-fitting box. They arrived in perfect condition and fitting for the season. I often add nuts to this old favorite, but I've never used nut flour...I will next time - sounds delicious!
