Join the discussionI never knew they were considered weedding cookies. well why not. I got this recipe with chocolate chips added from my mother in law in 1977 and have made them every year for Christmas. The recipe was called choco nut balls. Very yummy. My sister in law makes them with splenda cause she is diabetic. They are also great!
My son and I saw this recipe and needed to make it right away. We didn’t have any pecans in the house so we used mini chocolate chips instead. They were so amazingly good. Can’t wait to try them with pecans next time!
My dad and I made these when I was growing up – same recipe but made them in crescent shape – “Pecan Crescents” – definitely gonna make this year – Question?? When using the chocolate chips – is that in place of the nuts or in addition to – and how many??
Kathy, I’d use the mini chocolate chips in addition to the pecans, and maybe 1/2 cup?
In WI, we call them butterballs or snowballs.
in Connecticut we call them “BUTTERBALLS” mmmmmmmmm my fav growing up but a moment on the lips forever on the hips!!!!
Anyone know how long these will last in the freezer?
Tracy – Great question – here is a post that give general guidelines to how long things will last – https://onceamonthmeals.com/get… However – with baked goods I have left them for 6-9 months even and had no issues!
can you substitute almonds
Although this recipe wasn’t tested by our test cooks this way, we’re sure it would likely work for you! Please be sure to let us know how you like it if you do!
Made these for years, but called them ” Russian Tea Cakes ”
What ever you call them, they are great.
What does it mean to Flash Freeze?
Hi Elaine! It is a quick freeze on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper until it it frozen enough so they don’t stick together. Here is a helpful post about flash freezing and the benefits and types of food to flash freeze.
