Count your blessings if you have ever had a traditional Southern tea cake! They are one of my all-time favorite cookies – and I’ve tried my fair share! They are so tender while not being too overly sweet. They are perfect with a cup of tea, coffee, or even a mug of hot cocoa<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are Tea Cakes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea Cakes come from an heirloom recipe for a slightly sweetened sweet treat made of simple ingredients that most people have on hand. Tea Cake recipes are handed down through families, as is this one from my Grandmother. Some tea cakes are more cake than cookie, while others are more cookie than cake – it depends on the ratios of the ingredients included in the recipe. My family’s recipe is more cookie than cake, which I love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
