We make these every year - have forever. These are almost the same as the Butter Nut Balls except the cooking temperature and time. It takes a while to get the knack of compressing the somewhat dry dough into a ball. If you use margarine be sure to use the lowest water content available. Using butter makes a much better tasting cookie anyway. Its easy to overcook and brown the bottom.
