Happy Birthday Brandon!!!
It's my oldest son's birthday (Nov. 10).
Boy, am I getting old or what??
He is 33 today but will always be my first baby ;~)
Each year I make Russian Teacakes,
his favorite cookie (my sister's and I's too), for him.
This also kicks off our Holiday Baking Season.
These are truly yummy!!
Russian Tea Cake Cookie Recipe.
Mix:
1 cup butter

Enjoy!
Happy Birthday to Brandon! Hope it is everything he hopes it will be!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm..... cookies. These are one of my favs. My grandma used to make them at Christmas. Ok, what cookie isn't my fav? Walnuts make my husbands mouth itch, so I make them with cashews. A slightly different taste but still good!
Oh, these look good! Thanks for the recipe. Happy Birthday Brandon!

Happy Birthday to Brandon! The cookies looks yummy. I'm sure they are the best since it is made with a mother's love.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Brandon! Oh these look easy to make and scrumptious. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDeb, these are WONDERFUL. My mom has always called these "butter balls" and they were my dad's favorite. Also my daughters favorite, so they are made every year and at least a TRIPLE batch!
