Russian Tea Cakes

Ingredients:
butter, without salt
sugars, powdered
vanilla extract
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
salt, table
nuts, walnuts, english
sugars, powdered

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sifted sugar and vanilla.
Set aside.
Sift together the flour and the salt, then mix into the butter mixture about one third at a time.
Stir in the nuts.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop to get the right amount, roll the dough into 1 inch balls, and place on an un-greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set but not brown.
Place the remaining powdered sugar in a bowl, and roll the cookies in it while they are still warm.
Allow to cool on wire racks, then roll them in the powdered sugar again once they have cooled off.
Makes about 3 dozen.
