Russian Tea Cake Cookies

I love to make these because they are SO easy to make & everyone eats them up. This was the famlee treat for the weekend.

1 Cup butter, soft

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 Tablespoons powdered sugar

2 Cups flour

1 Cup chopped walnuts (or pecans...use what you have)

1/2 Cup powdered sugar for decoration after cooking

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, cream butter & vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 T powdered sugar & flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in chopped nuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes (they will not be brown). When cool, roll in powdered sugar two times & store in an air tight container.
