What are some other cookies similar to Russian tea cakes?
I love russian tea cakes. I make them a lot, typical version with walnuts, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and flour. Are there any other cookies similar to these that you think I should make? Looking for something different but similar since I like them so much. Thanks!
Well, I’ve seen them made with other nuts and that would make a subtle flavor and texture difference. Almonds. pecans, filberts, macadamia nuts and of course, walnuts come to mind. I don’t think I’ve seen them made with any nuts other than those.
Then there is the butter ball which adds more flour and contains No nuts–not as interesting to me.
Then there are cocoa powder butter balls with and without nuts.
The Greek version add a whole clove in the center of the cookie.
You can experiment and try adding whatever you like in the middle!
You can also use various liquors or extracts to change the flavoring instead of using the traditional vanilla extract.
They also go by several different names–Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes and nut butter balls among others, if you are looking up recipes. Traditionally they are made with very little sugar but then are coated in powdered sugar which is prone to leave a white ring around your mouth or down the front of your shirt! To avoid this, some people add more sugar to the dough and skip the powdered coating–not as fun, though!
I agree, russian tea cakes or whatever you want to call them are delicious!
