Beth’s Russian Teacakes
Beth’s Russian Teacakes are just one of the many cookies that Beth bakes for her church’s bake sale. One of the comments I got often from A Little Christmas Magic was that reading this story made them hungry. With the timeline going from Thanksgiving to Christmas, it’s easy to see why the pages brimmed with food. This teacake recipe happens to be one of my husband’s favorites.
