Russian Tea Balls

 


These classic Russian tea balls are tender, buttery cookies that practically melt in your mouth. Chopped walnuts add a pleasant crunch, while the cookie itself remains lightly sweet. A generous coating of powdered sugar gives them the perfect touch of sweetness.

Many people also know these cookies as snowball cookies or Mexican wedding cookies. They’re especially popular during the holiday season, making them a perfect addition to Christmas cookie trays or homemade gift boxes. This recipe makes a large batch, so you’ll have plenty to share with family and friends.
