Russian Tea Cakes
Description
There’s no feeling quite as blissful as biting into a Russian Tea Cake. This classic cookie is irresistibly nutty and buttery, but it's the dusting of powdered sugar that makes it so magical—it seems to burst with flavor when you bite into it. If you don’t have powdered sugar all over your face, you’re not doing it right!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Mix butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla in large bowl. Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool slightly on wire rack.
- Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar; cool on wire rack. Roll in powdered sugar again.
