Southern Tea Cakes are a tradition in Sweatpants& Coffee fan Brenda Lord’s family. She says, “My grandmother always kept some on hand and I have fond memories of having ‘coffee’ with her in the afternoon and watching her dip these soft, simple delicious cookies in her coffee. I inherited her Blue Willow coffee cup (in those days they drank from real china cups, not mugs) and I now enjoy sharing these Tea Cakes with my own granddaughters.”
