Cookie Recipe: Russian Tea Cakes

Butterballs or Russian Tea Cakes

M  other made these a lot in the winter.


 Guests were always coming to the house and they would also drop by on holidays before going elsewhere just to get some of my mother's food.

  She and my grandmother, who lived with us, were the best cooks I know.
 Their pies and cakes and cookies were famous.
During the Depression my grandmother kept the family going by baking breads and pastries to sell.  She did a land office business!

Here is my mother's recipe for Russian Tea Cakes. They are also called Mexican Wedding Cookies and Polish Wedding Cookies and probably many other names as well.
 Whatever you call them, they are delicious.
