Russian Tea Balls
These delicate Russian Tea Balls are tender, buttery, and simply melt in your mouth. The chopped walnuts add a pleasant crunch, while the light sweetness of the cookie is perfectly balanced by a generous coating of powdered sugar. Also known as snowball cookies or Mexican wedding cookies, they’re a festive favorite and make wonderful gifts during the holidays thanks to the large batch this recipe yields.
