[Guest guest]

In digest #566, Kenia asked for this recipe: " ...more of a

white cookie with powdered sugar on the outside and

they are round balls and I had them with cocoa powder on

them before too. I would like to try and find that type recipe if

anyone has one to share. "

 

~ i have a recipe that everyone in my family loves.

i know the recipe goes by different names, but my

mother always called them Russin Teacakes.

Here it is:
