A teacake is not a cake at all, but a Southern cookie that is similar to a sugar cookie, but does not have sugar sprinkled on top and is not as sweet as a sugar cookie.

I knew I could google "tea cake" and get a lot of answers, but I wanted your teacake recipes, ones that are your family favorites.

Is it similar to a butter cookie or shortbread cookie? I have a wonderful and VERY simple recipe for a butter/shortbread cookie. It's from my ex's grandmother. They aren't a real sweet cookie and are very tender. I make them every Christmas -- only at Christmas!! :wink:

PAB58 PLEASE POST YOUR RECIPE.

Not really, but that sounds good. Please post the recipe. I'd love to have it! I love family holiday recipes.

I do! I have to go to work, but will post later. They are one of my favs!
