What are “Snow Ball” Cookies?


The Russian tea cake is a type of cookie, often eaten around Christmas in the United States. A pastry typical in England during the Middle Ages. Some varieties are known as Mexican wedding cakes, Italian wedding cookies, Kourabiedes, Greek wedding cookies, or butterballs. Occasionally snowball cookies or “pecan Susans” for their powdery white spherical appearance around the winter holidays.

Russian tea cakes have a pretty simple recipe, usually consisting entirely of flour, water, butter, and groundnuts. The nut variety depending upon the type of cookie. After baking, they are rolled in powdered sugar while still hot, then coated again once the cookie has cooled.

European-based recipes rely upon coarsely chopped hazelnuts, almonds, or walnuts. Mexican wedding cakes traditionally use coarsely chopped pecans.
