Russian Tea Cakes

(From Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book, General Mills, 1950.)


1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts

Mix butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla thoroughly. Sift together flour and salt and stir into butter
mixture. Mix in nuts.
Chill dough.

Roll into 1-inch balls. Place slightly apart on ungreased baking sheet (cookies do not spread). Bake until set, but not brown.

While still warm, roll in confectioners' sugar.

Cool. Roll in sugar again.
