My review
Italian Wedding Cookies III
Chris Hetherington
"Also sometimes called 'Mexican wedding cookie', 'Russian tea cakes', or 'butterballs', can also be made into crescents. You can also substitute pecans and they are very good as well. This is the best version of these I have ever seen, it was given me by a friend who grew up in central Europe."

These were ok, not the best wedding cookies I have ever had. I found I needed to bake them a lot longer, not only to be fully cooked, but also so they didn't fall apart. They were so delicate ...

I took everyone's feedback here on the first try and used salted butter with no more salt added (surely the amount shown is a typo?). I also decided that with the almonds and the heavy dose of v...

This is a delicious recipe. As I'm always too busy, the first time I made them, I modified the recipe and made half the amount (40 cookies, less to be tempted by!?) but at the end I wished I'd m...
