RUSSIAN TEACAKES (about 4 dozen)
Sometimes called Mexican Wedding Cakes
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt, sifted with flour
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
Mix butter, sugar and vanilla thoroughly. Stir in sifted flour/salt
mixture. Stir in nuts. Chill the dough for 1 hour or overnight,
tightly covered. Preheat oven to 400F. Roll dough quickly into
1" balls with hands - don't overhandle or will warm up too much -
and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Space them closely, since
they don't spread very much. Bake 10 - 12 min, until set but not
brown. While still quite warm, roll in confectioner's sugar. Cool
on fine mesh rack or cool cookie sheet. Roll in sugar again.
Optional: At second sugaring, instead of rolling in conf. sugar,
dip bottoms in confectioners' sugar and roll tops in decorator
sugar, or use all decorator sugar.
