Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This will create a smooth and creamy base for our cookies. Then, add in vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Next, fold in the chopped nuts to add a crunchy texture to the cookies. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of water to help bind it together.
Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden brown on the bottom.
Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to give them their signature snowball appearance.
And there you have it, a delicious batch of Russian tea cookies that are perfect for snacking on with a warm cup of tea or gifting to your loved ones. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, making them a great make-ahead treat for any occasion.
So, next time you're in the mood for something sweet, try making these delicate and scrumptious Russian tea cookies and taste a little bit of Russia in every bite!
