These Russian tea cakes are also known as Mexican wedding cakes, butterballs and finally snowball cookies because of the icing sugar dusting they have. Whatever you call them they are a tasty treat to eat.
Very easy to make and absolutely beautiful. Love the walnuts and the fact that the teacakes aren't too sweet as they are covered in icing sugar anyway - definitely will be making these all year round not just at Xmas - 28 Oct 2010
