LOVED Russian Tea cakes! My daughter was doing a project on Russia a couple years back, we used this recipe and the whole class asked for seconds! If there's a dessert I would like to make it would be Russian Tea Cakes!

AMAZING! I used this food for a report on Russian food - I had to prepare the tea cakes in class- it was wonderful! I HIGHLY reccomend them! They are easy to make too.

I have eaten these ever sense I can remember and they are my favorit cookie.
I would like to have them on hand in the freezer at all times.

Excellent little morsels. I did use ground almond instead of chopped walnuts and had to bake them for rather longer than 8-10 minutes (about 15 to 18 mins in the end) for them to be firm. Made them as an after school treat for my son and he LOVED them! They are like shortbread with a mild almond flavour. Yum.
