Whether you call them Fiesta Cookies, Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, or Snowball Cookies, they all taste great. I like how the powdered sugar coating makes them look so festive on the cookie plate. I also like being able to find out who is snitching cookies . . . they have telltale powdered sugar dusting their upper lip and often down the front of their shirt!
Russian Tea Cakes
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream butter, sugar, and extracts. Combine flour and nuts. Stir into butter mixtures. Form dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Cool on wire racks, then roll again in powdered sugar. Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
