Russian Tea Cakes


By Adventures with the Woods (Visit website)




These cookies are known by several different names, such Mexican Wedding Cakes and Snowballs just to name a few.  I’ve always known them as Russian Tea Cakes.  These cookies are very simple to make and have just a few ingredients most people have readily available.  The recipe calls for rolling them in powdered sugar twice, but I rolled mine three times for extra coating.
