For a girl who hates dry, crumbly things, you'd expect me to definitely hate these little buggers because they are the epitome of dry and crumbly, but they are actually quite tasty and SUPER easy to make. Plus, in my household, it would not be Christmas without them! Enjoy!
Russian Tea Cakes
What You'll Need:
-1 c. butter
-1 tsp. vanilla extract
-6 tbsp. confectioner's sugar
-2 c. all-purpose flour
-1 c. chopped walnuts
-1/3 c. confectioner's sugar for decoration
What You'll Do:
1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tbsp. of confectioner's sugar together with the flour then stir it into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place onto ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart.
3. Bake for 12 minutes. When cool, roll them into the remaining confectioner's sugar until well coated. Roll again if desired.
I always roll mine in the confectioner's sugar twice. It gives them a nice coating that melt in your mouth when you take a bite and is a nice compliment to the drier cookie. Enjoy this Christmas staple!
