Ingredients You'll Need
Russian Tea Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pecan Filling
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the perfect Russian tea cookies, you will need a few key ingredients, starting with unsalted butter. This will give your cookies a rich and buttery flavor. Powdered sugar will give the cookies a delicate texture and a subtle sweetness. Vanilla extract adds a warm and comforting aroma. All-purpose flour and salt are the main dry ingredients that will help form the cookie dough.
For the pecan filling, you will need finely chopped pecans that will add a delicious nutty flavor and a nice crunch to the cookies. Granulated sugar will give the filling a sweet taste, while melted butter and milk will help bind the ingredients together. And of course, a touch of vanilla extract will enhance the overall flavor of the filling.
Directions
Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Prepare the Pecan Filling
In a small bowl, mix together the finely chopped pecans, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of the pecan filling, making sure not to overfill.
Step 4: Bake and Enjoy!
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. These Russian tea cookies with pecans are best served with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can make these delicious Russian tea cookies with pecans to impress your loved ones. They also make great gifts for the holiday season. So why wait? Give this recipe a try and taste the magic of these buttery, nutty cookies!
