MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES AKA RUSSIAN TEA CAKES



Mexican Wedding Cakes aka Russian Tea Cakes image

I learned to make these as a kid in 4-H. They were known as Russian Tea Cakes then. Now the same recipe is called Mexican Wedding cakes. But whatever you call them they are on almost everyone's top cookies list. I'm posting this for my Mom's cookbook.

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c butter, cold
1 c powdered sugar
4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c finely chopped pecans or walnuts
additional powdered sugar for rolling cookies in

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, with a fork or pastry blender cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in pecans. Shape tablespoonfuls into 2 inch balls (or slightly smaller). Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Roll warm cookies in confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.
  • 2. NOTE: If cookies tend to spread in the oven, instead of remaining in ball shape, chill dough thoroughly before baking and check oven temperature.

WEDDING COOKIES (SNOWBALLS, RUSSIAN TEA CAKES)



Wedding Cookies (Snowballs, Russian Tea Cakes) image

POPULAR cookies at parties, weddings or on a cookie tray. They melt in your mouth! Very impressive and addictive! I have been making these cookies for 45 years. These are also the same cookies that our dear "Meme" calls butter balls. Yield is approximate as it depends on how large you form each cookie. I have never known anyone to not like this cookie! I have always used real butter for this recipe.
