Russian Tea Cakes

Oh, look.... Christmas is right around the corner!

I know this is an art blog... but I can't just sit here and be silent while I'm enjoying these delicious treats! I just gotta share this recipe! Yes, I can cook... I love cooking and I absolutely love these melt in your mouth Russian Tea cakes! They are soooo good! They are just perfect for the holidays!
And guess what? They are so simple to make that even a 7 year old could remember this recipe!

So... here are the ingredients!

-1 cup of butter
-1 teaspoon of vanilla
-6 tablespoons of powder sugar
-2 cups of all-purpose flour
-1 cup of chopped walnuts
-1/3 cup of powder sugar for decoration( I usually end up using more than this)

Okay so now that you've looked in your kitchen to make sure you've got all the ingredients together, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Get a large bowl to cream the butter and vanilla until it's smooth. Once that's done, combine the 6 tablespoons of powder sugar and flour into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in chopped walnuts. The next step is to roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

Bake in oven for 12 minutes - time may vary depending upon your oven. I have the most wacky oven and mine may range from 8-10 minutes to get done. You just want them in the oven until they are a very light golden color.

Once they are done, let them cool. When they have been cooled, roll them in the 1/3 cup of powder sugar until they are fully coated.
Viola! They are ready to be devoured by your hungry little monsters. (aka siblings) They taste even better when they are still a bit warm inside, so make sure if you want to impress someone give it to them fresh!

Well that's it! I hope you liked it- if you have any questions please feel to ask in the comments below, thank you!
