Best Answer

probably Mexico because they are called 'Mexican wedding cookies"

another response

The same cookie recipe known as "Mexican Wedding Cookies" is also called "Russian Tea Cakes," "Snowballs," and "Powdered Sugar Balls." Because the recipe is a very simple shortbread made with powdered sugar in place of granulated sugar with pecans or other nuts mixed in, it probably appeared independently in a number of different regions shortly after powdered sugar became widely available. During the past century, recipes and the names of the recipes would have been exchanged and adapted as immigrants from many areas mingled in Europe and North America.
