These Russian Teacake Cookies, also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes, are arguably one of my favorite cookies (though I like so many cookies it’s hard to choose just one to be my favorite, I’d have to settle for a top 10). When I begin my Christmas Cookie baking (which goes on for weeks), these are always the first cookie I make every year, it just gets me started on my holiday cookie baking.
I have been hosting an annual Cookie Exchange during the holiday season for nearly 30 years now, and I think these were the first cookie I made for my Cookie Exchange many years ago, they never get old, and are always a favorite.
And if you have nut allergies, just skip the nuts, they’re just as delicious.
I made a twist on these a few years ago and added crushed candy canes to the cookie instead of nuts, and rolled them in the crushed candy canes along with the powdered sugar, and they were a huge hit. Here’s a link to my Peppermint Tea Cakes if you want to try those as well.
