Russian Teacakes

1 Cup Sifted Flour
1/2 Cup sifted Confectioners Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix throughly
2 1/4 Cups Sifted Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sift together and add to creamed mixture
3/4 Cup of finely chopped nuts either (Walnuts • Hazelnuts • Pecans)
Mix into mixture


Chill dough. Roll into 1inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet (cookies will not spread)
Bake at 400 degrees until set about 10-12 minutes.
While still warm, roll in Confectioners Sugar. Cool roll in sugar again. I usually roll just once I like mine to look like little snowballs... 


I make this cookie every year for Christmas it always looks so festive. I reminds me of snowballs and snow....
