Russian Tea Cookies
Russian Tea Cookies
2 cups Plugrá® European-Style Butter, unsalted
2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup pecans
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Using the paddle attachment of a mixer, cream the Plugrá Butter, 1 cup of the confectioner's sugar and the vanilla until it is smooth, stopping the mixer to scrape the bowl.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the remaining confectioners sugar and pecans, into the bowl and mix.
4. Grind the pecans to pea size in a food processor and mix them into the cookie mixture until they are all covered by the dough. Don't over mix the dough.
5. Form dough into small balls or use a small ice cream scoop to make perfect size balls.
6. Place on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper or spray the tray with a non-stick spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are slightly brown around edges.
7. While the cookies are still warm, toss them in a bowl of the remaining confectioner's sugar and then remove them. Wait ten minutes and repeat.
8. Let cool before serving.
