RUSSIAN WEDDING CAKES
These aren't really cakes - rather small, cake-like cookies. My cousin makes these constantly (much to the delight of the rest of the family)! These are so so so addictive! And for looking so delicate they are surprisingly easy.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly (if you find it easier to cream the sugar and butter first go ahead but it isn't necessary if you don't want to take the extra step).
- Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for around 8 minutes (they burn easily) on middle rack at 400 degrees until set but not brown.
- While warm, roll in confectioner's sugar. Let cool, and roll in sugar again.
WEDDING COOKIES (SNOWBALLS, RUSSIAN TEA CAKES)
POPULAR cookies at parties, weddings or on a cookie tray. They melt in your mouth! Very impressive and addictive! I have been making these cookies for 45 years. These are also the same cookies that our dear "Meme" calls butter balls. Yield is approximate as it depends on how large you form each cookie. I have never known anyone to not like this cookie! I have always used real butter for this recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Cool on wire racks and roll cookies again in powdered sugar before serving.
- Once they are completely cooled, cookies may be stored in airtight containers for up to 1 week.
MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES
Also known as Russian Tea Cakes, these little cookies are perfection! The dough is easy to work with, and the cookies are perfectly tender and crumbly but sturdy enough to hold together until you bite into them. The egg yolk does wonderful things for the texture. Prep time includes chilling dough. Recipe by Alice Medrich.

RUSSIAN TEA CAKES / MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES (COOKIES)
From the Joyofbaking.com, my friend Wendy made these cookies during our Operation Baking Gals 'baking day' -- these are one of my FAVORITE cookies, I can never eat just one. NOTE: There is a 1-hour 'rest' time for the dough to firm up once it is mixed. This is not included in the prep time.

- Ptichye Moloko (Bird’s milk) The name of this cake has nothing in common with its ingredients. The thick soufflé covered with dark chocolate is one of Russia’s most beloved treats!
- Napoleon. According to legend, Napoleon cake was invented to honor 100 years since the victory against the French army in 1812. This multi-layer cake with pastry cream is the first choice for a holiday feast in Russia.
- Polyot (Flight) The Polyot cake was a favorite during the USSR, but the story of its appearance is a mystery. Nevertheless, its tender meringue foundation and amazing buttercream are almost unparalleled when it comes to taste and indulgence.
- Medovik (Honey cake) The sweet history of honey cake (medovik is from “med” – honey) begins in the early 19th century in the kitchen of Emperor Alexander I. His wife, Empress Elizabeth, couldn’t stand honey - any dish made with it drove her mad.
- Praga (Prague) The chocolatiest cake in Russia - hands down. The Praga was developed by the same confectioners from the Praga restaurant responsible for the Ptichye Moloko cake in the 1970s, and it symbolizes the pinnacle of Soviet glamor and luxury.
- Moskva (Moscow) This new cake was developed in 2015 and has become a culinary symbol of Moscow. The dessert won its title after more than 200,000 people voted for it.
- Muraveynik (Anthill) The name of this cake means an “anthill” because of its shape. This is a quick pudding that could be made from ingredients found in every Soviet kitchen.

- Pancho. This cake was developed in recent years by Russian confectionery company Fili Baker. It’s based on the different recipes gathered from Russian housewives.

- Rugelach. Although this dish originated from the Jewish communities of Poland and remains popular among the Jewish diaspora and in Israel, this is also a popular dessert in Russia as it spread there from nearby Poland.
- Kogel Mogel (Gogel Mogel) This is an egg-based dessert that is sometimes found in eastern Europe as well as the Caucasus region, and it is made with egg yolks, sugar, and various flavorings from honey to cocoa, rum, or vanilla.
- Kulich. Kulich is what Russian’s call Easter bread, which is a festive dessert that is tall and round with decorations and icing on its top. The bread is very popular among Slavic peoples and is tied to the spread of Orthodox Christianity, which is believed to be the origin of the cylindrical shape of the cake.
- Pastila. A traditional Russian candy, Pastila is very similar to fruit pastilles, or small individual pieces of pressed fruit paste or juice with a lighter, more airy texture and delicate fruit flavors.During the Russian Empire, these were known as jellied sweetmeats, and were often served with tea and treated similarly to modern marshmallows.
- Pirozhki. Pirozhki are actually very similar to pirog and essentially a smaller, handheld snack version of the larger traditional pastry. Typically these smaller buns are crescent-shaped and come with various fillings which are totally enclosed within the pastry.
