SECRET KISS COOKIES/RUSSIAN TEA CAKES WITH A TWIST



Secret Kiss Cookies/Russian Tea Cakes with a twist image

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...

2 stick butter, softened

30-36 hersheys kisses, unwrapped

I HAVE ALSO GOTTEN CREATIVE AND USED THE FLAVORED HERSHEYS KISSES WHEN AVAILABLE THRUOUT THE YEAR SUCH AS THE CORDIAL CHERRY AND CARAMEL VARIETIES
ANOTHER JAP MEMBER CHERYL ROMANO MAKES THESE USING A MARASCHINO CHERRY (WIPED DRY) IN THE CENTER! THIS SOUNDS AMAZING AND I AM DEFINITELY GIVING IT A TRY!

  • 6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set but not brown.
  • 7. Cool slightly. While cookies are still slightly warm, roll them in powdered sugar. Cool completely. (I roll mine again after cooled)
  • 8. If you prefer you can mix together cocoa and powdered sugar and roll them in that.

This cookie recipe is sooooooo good. The finely chopped walnuts add a richness to the cookies. The original recipe called for rolling these cookies in powdered sugar after they cool down, but honestly these cookies don't need the powdered sugar and are certainly less messy to eat without the sugar.
