Russian Tea Cookies Anyone? by jb030958

Russian Tea Cookies Anyone?

Does anyone know why they call these yummy little cookies “Russian Tea Cookies”? Made a batch today and will probably need to make more!
Delicious shot...I love homemade Russian Tea Cakes which is what I've always called them.

P.s. I used the SCN food mode to take the picture.

Possibly taste similar too. These have chopped walnuts though.

A lovely capture of these confections. They look very similar to cookies my mother made called pecan balls. I liked them a lot and have made them in the past. Might be a recipe I need to drag out.

Thank you Kathy. My mother-in-law made a similar cookie that was shaped in a crescent form but the taste was the same. I imagine that recipes can be the same but shapes can change and then so does the name. :)

Apparently, these cookies go by many different names. I made them (gluten-free) for the first time this year and they ARE yummy! My sis used to make them and gave me the recipe "Mexican Wedding Rings". I knew they were also called Russian Tea Cakes. The recipe I found online was called "Snowball Cookies". :-) These look delicious displayed and photographed on your pretty plate!

I don't think I've ever tried one... must change that. They look delicious!

@jb030958 Yes. I think the nuts are changed up a bit too. Any way, they're all very tasty.

Wonderful food shot! My mother used to make these too but I forget what we called them. Maybe pecan balls. Definitely makes me want to dig out the recipe.
