secret kiss cookies/russian tea cakes with a twist
(2 ratings)
Nana Devine made her Pecan Balls as she called them since I couldnt pronounce the polish word she used lol...my mother in law called them russian tea cakes and I have seen them listed as Mexican wedding cakes too. The recipes all seem basically the same, maybe a tad more of this or a bit less of that. My favorite way to eat them though is with the hershey kiss snuggled inside : ) Nana made them this way when I got older and quite frankly I love them!! Who wouldnt enjoy biting into powdered sugary goodness filled with a smooth chocolate center?
