In Mexico, they are called wedding cookies. In Russia, they are called tea cakes. And in Italy, they are called Butter Nut Balls, Whatever you call them, their round-shaped, butter nut flavor, and powdered sugar coating make them a festive treat.

I love this cookie - it's one of my favorites. I always make hundreds of them at Christmas as part of my gift boxes to friends, family and neighbors. I love the chopped hazelnuts here, but I have also been known to pulse pecans in the food processor to get a super-coarse pecan meal for this recipe. They're great...you get a big high 5 from me. :) Vickie


At Christmastime, I make a Mexican version of these too, with blanched, ground almonds. To die for. :)


These look fun to make & delicious to eat! I am a Mexicophile, loving the whole Mexican culture, so these are on my "have to make" list! Thanks!


Busmamawilliams: i am looking for the recipe for Polverones de Nuez (Mexican version of these) as I type. I'll post as soon as I find it!


Your recipe sounds great! I love a good Mexican wedding cookie. Thank you for your recipe!
