  1. How many does this recipe make?

    1. It depends on what size ball you roll them into but I would say about 30.

  2. Sherri Johnson says:

    Your directions are confusing. Do I add cinnamon to the flour mixture? Then, roll balls into sugar?

    1. The directions in he recipe cards says to mix sugar and cinnamon.
