Russian Tea Cookies


"These are my all-time favorite cookies! They are 100% the best cookies I have ever tasted!
I triple the recipe, when I make them, because I want to make sure I have enough for myself, after sharing them with others."


Russian Tea Cookies
by Verlie Cox
1 cup Butter, softened
½ cup Powdered Sugar, sifted
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2½ cups All Purpose Flour
¼ tsp Baking Soda
½ cup Filberts, finely chopped

Combine Butter, sugar and vanilla in a medium size bowl. In a separate large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, and stir until well mixed. Slowly add sugar mixture to dry ingredients, and stir slowly until well blended. Roll dough into walnut size balls, and place them onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 400° oven until slightly golden brown. Do now allow to bake long enough to turn medium or dark brown. When cookies are done, and still warm, roll each one in a small bowl holding the powdered sugar and allow them to cool completely. If powdered Sugar melts, roll each cookie a second time in the remaining powdered Sugar.

24-36 cookies
