Russian Tea Cakes, also known as Snowball Cookies or Mexican Wedding Cookies, are classic bite-sized treats popular during holidays and celebrations. Originating in Eastern European and Spanish cuisines, these cookies are made primarily from flour, butter, powdered sugar, and finely chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. Their signature snowy appearance comes from being generously coated in powdered sugar after baking. While Russian Tea Cakes are loved for their rich, buttery texture and nutty flavor, they are not considered a health-focused dessert. High in saturated fats from butter and containing refined flour and sugar, these cookies are best enjoyed in moderation. However, their small size makes portion control easier, and the nuts provide a source of healthy fats and some protein. Perfect for festive gatherings, Russian Tea Cakes offer a nostalgic indulgence that pairs beautifully with coffee or tea.
