With my “Grandma’s Pantry” I am able to whip up yummy treats that are simple in ingredients but BIG on TASTE! I SO love simple recipes that have great taste and require little time to whip up and these little darlings most definitely fit the bill.
Russian Tea
Cookies
2 sticks of butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts (I used
Almonds from out out of the mixed nuts can and crushed them very small) It was
the only thing I had
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for
decoration
*I added White
Chocolate chips to the last bit of mixture I had and it came out DELICIOUS! I
needed to find something to use my White Chocolate for.
1. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In
a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tablespoons
confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just
blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place
them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.Bake for 12 minutes in the
preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. I also like
to roll mine in the sugar a second time.
Before we had Costco in Australia I couldn't buy sticks of butter and had to do the conversion - however with Costco came American butter "sticks" which I buy. I do, however feel a bit guilty for not buying Australian butter.
