Almond cookies

What do you call these cookies? "Russian tea cookies" "Mexican Wedding cookies" "Christmas Snowball cookies" "Boules de Neige" "Italian wedding cookies" I love how great foods can originate from different parts of the world at the same time and under different names...It's also very amusing to see different cultures lay claim of them as their own.



Relax people!! Putting nuts in cookies and then rolling them in powdered sugar is not that hard to come up with so everyone is a winner and by the way these exist in Morocco too under "kwirat telj" say that 10 times fast!!

 I love to serve mine with some traditional mint tea and sometimes choose to leave the powdered sugar out. You can find the recipe here
