Russian Tea Cakes (Wedding Cakes)


There are certain cookies that my family only makes once a year.  Russian Tea Cakes are one of them.  They're a Christmas cookie, and will always be a Christmas cookie to us!

These little cookies even look like a snowman!

 

They're easy to assemble, easy to decorate, and TOO easy to eat!


Don't forget the shopping list!

1 cup cold butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Combine the ingredients and shape into 1" balls.  Bake at 400 F for 8-10 minutes.  Cool completely, then roll in powdered sugar.

From one hearty appletite to another...happy cooking!
