How to Make Russian Tea Cakes
Russian Tea Cakes are the perfect melt-in-your-mouth holiday treat! Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup sifted powdered sugar, plus more for coating
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated. Stir in the walnuts.
