These little shortbread-like cookies are delicious. Mexican Wedding Cookies are also known as Russian Teacakes or Italian Nut Cookies. No matter what you call them, they're beautiful bite-sized morsels. Your choice of almonds, walnuts or pecans make them your own. Earl Darny, owner of Lotta's Bakery in San Francisco, whips bakes babies up in no time.
Earl Darny, owner of Lotta’s Bakery in San Francisco, believes in the old-time full-service bakery. He says an industry-wide decline in small neighborhood bakeries might discourage most prospective pastry entrepreneurs, but for him, it became an opportunity. Because Darny’s is the only shop in the bustling Polk Street district capable of handling immediate or peculiar custom orders, he has established a modest kind of monopoly in the area. Offering bread, cookies and amazing wedding cakes, Darny usually bakes with butter but even makes vegan pastries upon request. He is proud to say that Lotta's Bakery is thriving in a time when neighborhood bakeries are on the decline.

I've always been intimidated to bake cookies but this looks easy and they sound wonderful. (Dec 17, 2008 12:41:41 AM)
