We grew up calling these Mexican wedding cookies. They are SO good!
Yes!
We called them Swedish Wedding cookies 😂
So did we
Yep, it's how I was taught, too.
That's what my Grammy always called them. She only made them at Christmas. She was the only person I knew who made them.
I am 73 yrs old and I remember my grandmother teaching me how to make these when I was quite small. We always called them Butterballs and we still call them that. I hope my grandchildren will be making these for their children. These are my favorite cookies
We Called Them Amish Courting Balls
We call them, "Moldy Mice" !!!!
@@barbarabrunson8588hahahahaha that's funny !!!!!
I aiways add cornstarch to get the flour, it makes the cookie extra light and almost melts in your mouth
Oh my goodness My neighbor gave me this recipe and several others when I was 12 years old. And I have been making them ever since and I am now sixty eight!And we called them butterballs. I still have the Original three by five card with the recipe. I just made a batch tonight but will roll them tomorrow and bake them. I always hid some in a coffee can under my bed. Because I had three brothers and would never get any if I left them all in the kitchen😂
I have this same recipe. When it was given to me, I was told that they were Pecan Dreams. Someone else gave it to the person that gave it to me. Back in the 80s I would just pinch off some dough and make the cookies. A few years back I started using a small cookie scoop to make the balls. Now they all come out the same size! I always get compliments on the cookies and people always ask for the recipe.
I make these every year. I prefer to use almond flavoring instead of vanilla. It adds a lil something 😊. You two are the sunshine on a cloudy day. Looking forward to what you bring to us next time. Stay true, stay warm hearted and stay faithful ❤
Have you ever added orange extract? Delish
@@michaelbiddy2324 no but that would be great!
So wonderful to see this tradition carried on to new generations. I have made this cookie recipe for the past 62 years, and my mother before me, and my grandmother before her. I even have their recipe cards. Christmas is the time for traditions. Thank you.
Amen sistah!
AMEN! Priceless forever memories! ❤
Ms lori we always made spiced grape juice
Grape juice in crock pot
Add 1 sliced orange
1 slices lemon
2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
Heat it to simmer leave on low longer the better
House will smell wonderful😊
I bet it tastes delish, too!
Thanks for the recipe…appreciate your kindness…god bless xox
Oh wow I am going to make this, I have never seen this recipe, Thank you very much!!
Yum! That sounds delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
Add a fifth of grey goose and you'll also feel wonderful!
We also called them wedding cookies they're so good! Makes a good holiday cookie thankyou for the memory have a wonderful day 🌻
In my family we shape the dough into a crescent moon shape and call them Crescent Cookies. One of my favorites. Buttery shortbread & pecans, what's not to love?
I remember my mom doing that a few years when I was small, always for Christmas.
We always had these during the holidays. Mom (and I) ground the pecans in a crank cheese grater with the hopper and the different wheels you can put in - I think it's called a mouli but don't quote me on that - with the fine wheel, and it grinds them just right. We called them pecan sandies but they were not sandy in the mouth! She always made them ahead and let them mellow in a tin for about a month. Superb.
This is what my grandmother called them. But it's still the same.
Love my mouli!!
We always called these cookies "wedding cookies". They are a favorite.
Yes, aren't they?! We called them Amish courting balls
My mom made these every Christmas and I have as well. She always called them snowballs. And we wrap the dough around a hershey kiss. Delicious.
I make these every year and gift them to family members. My mom is 93 and still going but does not bake anymore. She made these every year and we know them as Butter Balls. Since I am 68, I have enjoyed these for a lot of Christmases. We only have them at Christmas and it would not be Christmas without them. Thanks for sharing this old recipe and the memories it evokes
Those cookies are one of my favorites! It's also called wedding cookies.
This brought tears to my eyes..My precious Sister made these cookies every year it was her specialty oh how bittersweet the memories are, cancer took her from us, and I carry on her tradition every year now and we’ve come to call them Trish’s cookies and now her grandchildren will make these when they are old enough to learn I will teach them. Thank you Lori for the precious memories that are flooding my soul today
These delicious cookies melt in your mouth. I called them Russian tea cakes & Mexican wedding cookies. Rolling them in powdered sugar while still warm makes them perfect 😋
Rolling warm and several times
I vote for a sweet potato casserole without marshmallows. Maybe even a savory sweet potato casserole. 😮
What a warm, cozy cabin home you've made! Mom used to make those too. Pecan Balls I think we called them.😊
I remember making these with my Great Grandmaw! She was slow and her little fingers would hit from arthritis and she would always father us girls to help her make them! I was about 5 yrs old and I help to roll them into balls. We each had a part in it. She had the sweetest softest voice and would sing to us while we worked! Sometimes we would all sing along! She sang so pretty and sweet! At only 4' 10" tall and 115 lbs maybe, She still could get around the kitchen. I'll never forget my Grandmaw because to me, She was like a little Angel. We always said a prayer before we started baking. It was 6 of us girls and we took turns saying prayer on cookie baking days and we all looked forward to going to Grandmaws and Papaws house! Smalls but so warm and loving. She called these cookies, Butter Snow Balls, and Us girls always called them Grandmaws Angel Snowballs! I'm 4' 10" and weigh 120 lbs. Her hair came down to her knees and was a beautiful Grey that she braided and kept in a bun. My hair comes down midway to my thigh and I keep mine braided! My Aunts always say I remind them of Great Grandmaw Margie! That to me is such a great compliment and a blessing to be like her! My Granny stepped in to pick up when Grandmaw couldn't do or anymore and she also was a shirt shall woman just as precious as her momma! My Momma also baked these Cookies throughout my life and I've continues to do it for my children, Grandchildren, and now 5 Great Grandchildren! Only 4 are old enough to eat them as my last one was born just a month ago. A precious baby boy! My daughter makes these for them and my Granddaughters are continuing with all our old great family recipes! 6 Generations of making these Cookies and Many more Old Recipes! Thank you Miss Lori for all your Recipes and your Precious time you spend with us all. I keep you and Danny in my Prayers daily along with many others. I pray for this world and all the suffering so many are going through. Its sad and I feel it in my heart but the light and love of Our Lord Jesus keeps me going. I pray for Israel and innocent people on both sides. I just pray for everybody and Mercy for the mean ones... Gods love keeps me lifted up... I love you and Mr Brown... Ya'll stay Safe and Warm... I look forward to Your next Video! God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing ,
What Beautiful memories!
I also make these cookies for Christmas, but I put black walnuts in mine.
I love walnuts I bet it is good ❤
There comes a time during festive season when you just want something light to share and these are perfect. The recipe I have uses mixed nuts. Which is usually a good recipe for Christmas left over nuts. Love to all your viewers and I don't believe anyone can eat these and be hateful at the same time.
I have always known these as Russian Tea Cakes or Norwegian Nut Balls. I live in Minnesota, I make these every year. I have used Imitation Rum flavoring as well.
Yes!! They were called Russian Tea Cakes in my moms old Betty Crocker Cookbook.
But the recipe called for walnuts.
I made these for last weekends family gathering! My recipe calls them Mexican Wedding Cookies. But it’s slightly different… first you just break up the pecans into small chunks . I do it with a plastic bag and a hammer lol, then toast the pecans just till they smell good. The rest of the recipe is the same but I mix it by hand and I usually do add the coconut. Also I roll them twice in the powdered sugar. I love these cookies!!❤️🤗🐝 btw, I love your champagne glass idea! Maybe add a red ribbon on the stem?❤️
I'm from Southern California and we too call them Mexican Wedding Cookies! 💚🧚♂
Great idea to toast them first ..😊❤❤❤❤❤
We call them Pecan Butter Balls ! A must have every Christmas for years and years !! Cant wait to make my first batch of the year 🎄🎅🍪
This has always been one of my favorite cookies. It's a staple for Christmas in our family. Have to admit I've never used my food processor to make them, you know that will be changing now that you have showed us how much easier it is with it. I've heard them call Christmas Balls, Mexican Tea Cakes, Russian Teacakes, Pecan Cookies, it's all the same recipe, whichever they are always delicious. Thanks for such a cute idea of serving them.
Me too using the food processor is a game changer. We always called them snowballs. Love them.
We called them Amish courting balls.
My 91 year old mama makes these every Christmas, she calls them Christmas cookies and also Butterballs❤️
What a great creative idea
I call these wedding cookies, pecan balls… they are a hit and I’ve make this for many years… they’re a hit anytime I serve them… blessings to you two❤️🙏
Hello Mr. Brown and Mrs. Lorie, my wife and I enjoy watching your videos. In a world that's so corrupt it's nice to watch something that's wholesome. Mr. Brown reminds me of my grandfather Big Daddy. Keep standing up for Jesus. Gary and Alice.
Those are a must every Christmas and we only have them at that time of year so it keeps it special. Thanks for the idea of adding the powdered sugar to the pecans while processing. We also do buffet to many of us to get around one table. 😍
I wasn't sure what they were called. Love these cookies, and pecans. Haven't had them for yrs. Thank you. ❤🙏 Rose
I have been making pecan sandies is what mine was called since I was 10 years old, this is one of my favorites and by the way I’m 65 now. So excited about your Holiday collection your doing. Thank you for sharing all your tricks and tips.❤
So happy to see you today... and to spend time with everyone in this community. Reading all the comments just makes me smile.
I love these! They have been a part of Christmas forever!
I've never made them myself though. Afraid to as I'd eat them all, no control! ❤
Same here. No control.
Pecan Sandies. Thanks for the recipe. 😊
Thanks for fond memories.
Yes
I use my food processor to make my hot cocoa mixes. We make these all the time when all the kids were together. Love them.
Yummy Yummy of course! The cabin looks fantastic too! Rest well and Sweet Dreams!!
I chop my pecans by hand with my butcher knife,my grandmother made them with and without pecans, my Mother was the one that really was a wonderful Christmas cookie and candy gift giver, thanks for those memories..
Love those cookies...I like pecans in just about anything.😋🍁🍂🙏 Stay warm and be safe.
This is a family favorite that I make every Christmas! I also want to make some cinnamon apple walnut bread for Holidays! I just bought my turkey breast for Thanksgiving. I’m planning to use your recipe! My favorite! Just planning ahead! Blessings!
Nana always made these at Christmas time! She called them Moravians. She would make date pinwheels, Angelicoes, and so many others! She always dipped them in either red or green colored sugar; had to do it while they were still hot from the oven so the pretty sugar stayed on, so it took tough hands! She didn't like confection's sugar on them.
Great idea ! Thanks. I’m trying to put some things my mom and grandmother always made, to put on the sweets table. This was one of them.
I've made them every Christmas for over 50 years. My family's favorite!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! And may God continue to bless you and your family 👪
I had to giggle Miss Lori when I saw these cookies… I made these years ago and put them down into ziplock bag to coat with powdered sugar, they were a bit to warm and melted the plastic, needless to say I had a big mess to clean up and lost a lot of the cookies 😂 I sent you an email the other day about the cookbook hoping to hear something soon if you have time. God Bless.
I havent got the email, can you resend it
I sent it to the email in your comment section is that correct?
This is my absolute favorite cookie! I learned something new with you to use powdered sugar with the nuts when you chop them! The best thing about these cookies is that my hubby doesn't care for nuts so they are ALL MINE!!!;0)
My mama's favorite cookie (we call Christmas Nut Balls) that I make every Christmas- a tear here and there remembering every year we all made these cookies together ❤️
This is my favorite cookie! Thank you for sharing God bless you and your family❤
Yes we’ve made these for years every Christmas since I was a child except we use walnuts instead of pecans and we call them nut butter balls. Still have the original recipe from a magazine long ago.
We love these! They are called Mexican Wedding Cookies around here.
I make those. I call them lady finger because I roll them into fingers. I mix all ingredients by hand, no mixer, processor really needed. Love your cooking.❤️
I love when you show all of your treasures and cabinets filled with antiques and old stuff !! These cookies are amazing and are great to give as gifts , the little wine glasses are to cute !! Blessings to you all Miss Lori and Mr. Brown !
Hi from Virginia. ! I’m always so at peace listening to both of you. The recipes are wonderful as is your stories. You are a blessing to utube and I pray for this peace and kindness of all our nations. He is our Hope And you are strong in saying so !! God bless and I can’t wait for the new grand baby news. I have 7 myself and always have room for as many more there might be in His plan. Thanks again for all you both share 😊
Thanks! They would be great with almonds and cherry extract, poppy seeds and lemon extract, etc!
Almond extract‼️👍🏻
Love these! We call them Russian Tea Cakes
I’ve been making these since the early 80’s. They are sooooo good.
My recipe is called Swedish Tea Cakes. I also make the chocolate version. They are called Chocolate Truffle Cookies. Both came from a Pillsbury Cook Book. It was free, when purchasing two 5lb. Bags of flour. It’s my most treasured baking cook book.
I really enjoyed the video.
Praying for all the people suffering. God bless y’all.
We called them Amish Courting Balls!
Good afternoon. It sounds delicious!

These are my favorite Christmas cookies! I use walnuts and call them Snowballs. 😊
My husband just left to go hunting this morning which means I have the house to myself until some of our grandchildren get here after while. I have all of the ingredients for this awesome cookie recipe, so we are going to be baking cookies while they are here. May God bless you and Mr. Brown with a most wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing your valuable time with us.
this definitely a wonderful & delicious old recipe Ms. Lori. I remember mom making these growing up, and I made them for my own family every Christmas - everyone liked them! I hope to make them again this year too! Thanks for the reminder. blessings to you & Mr. Brown.
These are a staple on my cookie list every year. Thanks for sharing your recipes, Miss Lori 🙂❤️
These seem to be like a Russian Tea Cake. I give those to my neighbors every Christmas in a pretty box. You just gave me an idea though, and I am going to make them now and freeze. We are so busy around Christmas so that would ease things up a little. They look so good and with a cup of tea. Yum!
These little buggers just melt & then you chew nuts, etc. HEAVEN!
Oh my, I’ve made these for 30 years, mom made them for 30 yrs! But we like our pecans chopped, not ground. My gosh, best cookies ever. Mom called them Pecan Sandies, so that’s what they’ll always be for us.
A very delicious cookie. I have made these for years and they have always been a big hit with everyone. sometimes I will stick a Hersheys kiss inside them and those are good too.....I can't wait to make your Pecan Pie balls I'm dying to try those....Thank you and God Bless you....
These are my favorite Christmas cookies Ms Lori!! Always appreciate your videos and your kind gentle way. Blessings to you and Mr. Brown 🙏❤️
B
We call these snowball cookies.They were made at Christmas time. Brought back wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
We made them when I was small. They are cookies that you never get enough of them. Thanks for reminding me about them.
I love that these cookies have so many different names, but they're loved universally, yum!
I have a recipe like this that is called Mexican Wedding Cookies. I don't make them anymore because I eat them all!!! So good! Thanks Mrs. Lori.
Many years ago I used to buy my husband similar cookies around Christmas time. They were so good. Thanks for this recipe! I will be making them for the family and hopefully will bring back a memory!❤😘🙏🏻✨
Yes. Me too ! Sold as Ruths cashew balls , right ?
The cookies were Archway, I thought they were pecan but could have been cashew. They were good.@@Rosetta-zb4gm
AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙌 TO PEACE FOR ALL THE WORLD.
My mother-in-law taught me to make these over 50 years ago. She called them Mexican Wedding Cookies! No matter what we call them, they are melt in your mouth deliciousness? 😋😋😋😍
These cookies are a wonderful Christmas memory. My mom made them, rolled and then shaped into a crescent moon.
brings back warm and fuzzy memories of childhood.
I make these every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have one recipe that’s calls them Wedding Cookies and I have one from the 1980s that call them Cresents. Whatever they are a favorite at my house. I make 3or 4 batches every year.
Thank you for this wonderful cookie recipe. We appreciate you.
Hey Miss Lori! Those were always my favorite treat. If only i could make them sugar free. I finally made it to the little store in Dalton. The owners are precious. Got some milk from Simpson farms too, very nice man. Take care dear friend! ❤
Your home sure is beautiful and cozy ❤ I've been making Christmas cookie baskets every year for family and friends , 44 years now. I change them up with different things each year and I've made those a few times 😊 I like putting some candies in with the cookies and other baked desserts, as well as my fudges 😊 a traditional gifting thing I always do
Miss Lori i wanted to ask if you & Mr. Brown can please pray for my husband whose name is Cardinal as well as myself Theresa, we both just found out we have covid again, i am my husband’s care giver for many years now, He has severe health problems, he is 73, I’m 60 and I am only asking for myself for prayers for strength not only physically but mentally as well. I also deal with depression and anxiety that makes everyday so unhappy. I always look forward to watching your videos late night when i can sit and take a break. Thank you for always Blessing everyone with yours and Mr. Browns love & kindness🙏🏼❤
Good afternoon Ms Lori blessings to you and Mr Brown
We have been in the 30s all day. Not quite ready but I’m sure the weather won’t wait on me 😂 ❤
They did look good, and I will surely make these. I love your pretty cabin, and it looks so warm and cozy. Have a good weekend. I’m looking forward to the cooler weather. 💞
I remember making these over 30 years ago. My sister and I got together and made tons of cookies for family and friends. It was an all day cooking event. I just love these pecan balls.
Thank you! My mom is gone and all of her stuff was by lost including the recipe you just posted. Yum. I will make a bunch and when we eat them we will salute you and smile.
I remember having those as a kid. I haven't had those in years. Thanks for the yummy memory. Lots of loves and hugs sent to you both..
I was just thinking of making these cookies yesterday for the holiday. I love them! We call them pecan sandies. I like how you made yours by puting powdered sugar on the pecans and using the food processor. I am for sure going to make some and use the food processor this time. Great timing! I have also dipped them in chocolate so the top is covered with the chocolate and they are good that way too!
That’s what we called them! And we didn’t grind the pecans, left them in small pieces. ❤️
We call these cookies "Moldy Mice" !!!! They are delicious. Like your compotes to put them on the table.
This is one of my wonderful childhood memories. My mother , who is in glory with Jesus, used to make two cookies at Christmas and then fudge. She would call this recipe Kifflings or Sand Tarts, and would fill up a big cookie sheet with small crescent shape cookies. They were made like this. It still floors me to this day, how symmetrical they all were. I cannot make them like hers. One year I shortly after she passed, I was actually crying trying to make them.then I just said, “Gram, I can’t do it.”, and I made them in balls. My grandkids and my daughters do it for me now, and I bake them. They really do melt in your mouth. Lori, you mentioned you can freeze them. Do you roll them in the powdered sugar and then freeze? Or do you just freeze the dough? Thank you for showing us y’all’s beautiful cabin. I love the way y’all have fixed it up. Y’all a precious godly couple and feel blessed to get to watch your channel. May the Lord continue to bless.❤️✝️🙏
Youre house looks so cozy snd comfortable. Its so cute the way uou have it decorated. I love those cookies. Ive made them for many years. Taught my oldest granddaughter to make them a few years ago. They definitely are gone in a hurry they are so good. Ive always called them Danish wedding cookies. They taste just as good by any name. Love uou and God bless you snd Mr Brown. Congratulations for a new grand baby. They are all so precious.💖💙
We have always called them snowballs & I agree they’re so good. Will plan on trying your recipe this year. Thx!
Snowball!!!!!!!

Hello I am from Pennsylvania and we have made these since I was a child. A few differences are ours around here we use walnuts, ours are rolled as soon as they come out. As they cool they will be tacky and ready for next roll . You have showed us to use the food processor. Thank you
OH! Just spotted that sweet little red childs chair!!! I'm 72 and have had mine all these years and only recently passed on to little grand nephew. It survived my grandparents house fire back when I was in 3rd grade. My grandpa repainted it shortly after that. Red of course. What special memories. Ok, now onto the cookie video. Sounds yummy :)
My Grandmother and Grandfather raised me and my sister. I just recently received a family cookbook that my cousin put together. In it, was my Granny’s meltaway cookies, coconut cake, cauliflower and carrots casserole, and her Thanksgiving dressing. I was so thrilled to have those recipes! I made her dressing and my family loved it. I’m planning on making her meltaway cookies to put in goodie boxes for Christmas. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes you share.
I grew up having these, we’d make them , & other yummiful cookies, candies & give to our family, & friends! I still do to this day! 60 years later! Enjoy baking them with my grandkids! Seems to be a rarity these days ! Much love, I absolutely have enjoyed you for a few years and all here!
My DIL loves these cookies. I have to make some just for her every Christmas. Lol. And peanut butter blossoms.
We've made these for years. We call them Russian Tea Cakes. They are so good!
