Personal Notes:
This is one of my families favorites! Also called Russian Tea Cakes. Make them quarter size so you can just pop them in your mouth and not get powdered sugar all over. Grandma Hendricks made these every Christmas. She made them a little bigger, but they were always good. She like the title Russian Tea Cakes better than Pecan Tea Cookies. She thought is was classier.
