Mexican Wedding Cookies OR Russian Teacakes

http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com/

This is our families favourite cookie, my husband just pops them into his mouth one after another.

When I was in high school while working in the summer time in a dept. store one of the Ladies brought this cookie in that I absolutely loved. I had never tasted one like it before. I asked for her recipe and she gave me an index card and said 'you write and I'll tell you the ingredients and method". She said that they are called 'Mexican Wedding Cakes'. Now sometimes they are named Russian Teacakes, which sounds better for me as my family background is from near around there :-) in that part of the world.







This is still the same index card that I wrote in the 70's that my co-worker recited to me.

I did 2 batches, one with walnuts and one with pecans, and my husband said that he can't tell the difference.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!!!!!........... love reading your comments. Let us know what cookies are your Family favourites?
