RUSSIAN TEA CAKES



Russian Tea Cakes image

Classic, old-fashioned Christmas cookies! You'll love these buttery shortbread treats that are rolled in a blizzard of powdered sugar!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Cookies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond flavor
½ cup sugar
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
Powdered sugar, to coat ((about ½ cup))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter, vanilla, almond flavoring and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix to combine. It will look crumbly at first, but keep mixing until it comes together in a thick dough. Mix in walnuts.
  • Shape dough into balls (about the size of golf balls). Place about 1 inch apart on parchment or silicone-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or just until set and firm to the touch (but not browned). Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, then roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Once cool, roll the cookies in powdered sugar again.

RUSSIAN TEA CAKES I



Russian Tea Cakes I image

This is a family recipe that's been made at Christmas time by at least 4 generations. This year will be the first for number 5!!! 'Bubba' brought it with her when she came from Lithuania. I pass it on in the true spirit of this season!

6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour

WEDDING COOKIES (SNOWBALLS, RUSSIAN TEA CAKES)



Wedding Cookies (Snowballs, Russian Tea Cakes) image

POPULAR cookies at parties, weddings or on a cookie tray. They melt in your mouth! Very impressive and addictive! I have been making these cookies for 45 years. These are also the same cookies that our dear "Meme" calls butter balls. Yield is approximate as it depends on how large you form each cookie. I have never known anyone to not like this cookie! I have always used real butter for this recipe.

RUSSIAN TEA CAKES



Russian Tea Cakes image

There's no feeling quite as blissful as your first bite of one of these cookies. Whether you call them Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding cookies or snowballs, there's no denying that they're essential to bake during the Christmas season. A shortbread-like dough, studded with chopped nuts, bakes up to a texture that's beautifully sandy and tender, never dry or crumbling to bits. The classic finish for them is a roll through powdered sugar-just like dashing through the winter snow! Make this recipe and you'll be part of a legacy of bakers who have made Russian Tea Cakes one of the most anticipated treats of the season.
