RUSSIAN TEA CAKES



Russian Tea Cakes image

There's no feeling quite as blissful as your first bite of one of these cookies. Whether you call them Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding cookies or snowballs, there's no denying that they're essential to bake during the Christmas season. A shortbread-like dough, studded with chopped nuts, bakes up to a texture that's beautifully sandy and tender, never dry or crumbling to bits. The classic finish for them is a roll through powdered sugar-just like dashing through the winter snow! Make this recipe and you'll be part of a legacy of bakers who have made Russian Tea Cakes one of the most anticipated treats of the season.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps the chocolate filling from oozing out.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of the cookies. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting and making the cookies messy.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-filled Russian tea cakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
