RUSSIAN TEA CAKES I
This is a family recipe that's been made at Christmas time by at least 4 generations. This year will be the first for number 5!!! 'Bubba' brought it with her when she came from Lithuania. I pass it on in the true spirit of this season!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.

MOM'S RUSSIAN TEA CAKES
This was the first thing my Mom let me make as a kid. I remember standing on a chair at the counter beside her when I was four or five years old as she showed me how to mix these little tea cakes up and bake them. I loved rolling them in the powdered sugar almost as much as I enjoyed eating them.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the margarine and powdered sugar with the honey, salt, and vanilla. Stir in the flour, working until the ingredients come together to make a soft dough.
- Portion the dough into 1" balls, rolling each one in powdered sugar and placing them onto a greased cookie sheet, about 2" apart.
- Bake tea cakes, uncovered, on the center oven rack for 12-14 minutes, until the bottom of each tea cake is nicely browned.
- Remove the tea cakes from the oven, letting them rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes; roll each tea cake in powdered sugar once more while still warm, then place them onto a cooling rack until fully cooked.
- Store tea cakes in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for up to 6 months. Dough freezes well, too.
- Makes 12-15 tea cakes, depending on the size of the balls....and how much of the dough you "sample".

RUSSIAN TEA CAKES
There's no feeling quite as blissful as your first bite of one of these cookies. Whether you call them Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding cookies or snowballs, there's no denying that they're essential to bake during the Christmas season. A shortbread-like dough, studded with chopped nuts, bakes up to a texture that's beautifully sandy and tender, never dry or crumbling to bits. The classic finish for them is a roll through powdered sugar-just like dashing through the winter snow! Make this recipe and you'll be part of a legacy of bakers who have made Russian Tea Cakes one of the most anticipated treats of the season.
