According to several food history sources and cookbooks, Russian tea cakes (aka Biscochitos/Mexico, Tea cakes/Sweden, Mandulas kiflik/Bulgaria, Biscochos/Cuba, Kourabi'des/Greece, Polvorones/Italy & Spain, Rohlichky/Ukraine and Sand Tarts, Sandies, Butterballs & Moldy Mice/United States) are a universal holiday cookie-type treat. This means this recipe is not necessarily connected to any one specific country. It is connected with the tradition of saving rich and expensive food (the richest butter, finest sugar, choicest nuts) for special occasions.
