Raspberry tea cakes – my new favorite treat for breakfast, snack, or really any time at all!

The Cookies of a Thousand Names: Snowballs, Russian Tea Cakes, Italian Butternuts… that’s all I can think of right now, but you get it.

Madeleines are one of my favorite cookies. Light, airy, delicate and just plain adorable. I adore the added flavor and color of cherries.

Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies, whatever you call them they’re delish!

During a flying visit to LA, I made time for some good eats and caught up with some blogger friends too!
