OMG, I haven't had Russian Bread cookies since my Grandmother passed away over ten years ago. She lived in Berlin and always sent a bag over in every package - they were my treat - no one else in the family could understand why I loved them so much. How wonderful that now I can make my own and keep the memory going!

Oh my goodness, can't believe you actually found a recipe for these!! I was just looking to order them online. My Grandpa, who just passed away at the age of 90 in August, used to buy me little bags of these at the Alpine Bakery in Bakersfield, California. I liked eating the R's best! Now I can share them with my husband, too. And bake a whole batch of R's, if I want . . . :)

Thank you for posting such a delightful and informative article! I am so excited to try this recipe. These cookies bring back such warm childhood memories, as do the "ice chocolates"--- did our parents and grandparents all have the same favorites? :) I must take my niece to a German store and continue the "legacy."
