I altered a recipe that I found in an All American cookbook and "taste tested" them on my co-workers. (I thought they were wonderful, but had to make sure since I'm part Norwegian and have been told our taste buds are "off") Since my co-workers keep asking me to bring more and tell me they love my balls, I thought it was safe to share the recipe...
