I'm allergic to nuts, so I was excited to find this recipe for nut-free Russian tea cakes. They were delicious, and I didn't miss the nuts at all.

These tea cakes were good, but I think they would have been better if I had used a different chocolate filling. The one I used was too runny.

I was disappointed with these tea cakes. They were dry and crumbly, and the chocolate filling was too sweet.

These cookies were a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth it. They're so rich and flavorful.
