Russian Tea Cakes

Russian tea cakes are like little bites of butter. They are light and not terribly sweet considering that they are rolled in powdered sugar. I know not to make these if I am trying to count calories. This is a splurge recipe because they are totally addictive.
You will put one of these heavenly little gems in your mouth and moan…..they just melt.

1 cup softened butter or margarine

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

In a large bowl combine ingredients on low speed of mixer about 1 minute. Blend well. Gradually add flour at low speed until just combined; stir in nuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls; place about 1 inch apart on non greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 8-10 minutes until firm to the touch but not brown. Do not over bake. While warm, roll in powdered sugar. Cool; re-roll in powdered sugar before serving.
