Russian Tea Cakes I

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter

• 2 cups flour all-purpose
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1 cup walnuts chopped

Equipment

• bowl
• baking sheet
• oven

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth.
3. Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended.
4. Mix in the chopped walnuts.
5. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6. 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.
