Can you help me identify all the cookies in this picture? 12 cookies General name is fine, like 2 is Gingerbread. Sorry if it is unclear from the picture, but this is all the info I have.

    I'm guessing this isn't homework (if so, I might be willing to go back to class)... so some sort of treasure hunt or puzzle contest?

  • It could honestly be either, but I'd have to see the inside. Snowballs are usually a little rounder than that picture now that I think about it, so go with the Mexican wedding cookies.

  • 6 is really not conclusive from the picture. Russian tea cakes can look like that too, if rolled in enough sugar.

    5 is a "French Macaroon" either lemon or lime, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Also 6 is either a Mexican Wedding Cookie or Russian Tea Cake. Technically they are both called "Snowballs" in the US. It depends on how small the nut is chopped, whether pecan or walnut is used, and how the ball is rolled and if the ball is rolled after it is cooked, once or twice. Also, the bigger the ball, the flatter the botton because it is heavier cookie.
