Quick, easy and only 4 ingredients. I got this recipe from a coworker. They are like snowball cookies, but her mom apparently always called them "Russian Cookies" when she was growing up. Makes 20 small cookies.

You can substitute other nuts for the almonds or walnuts. Note, this recipe uses a food processor.

Ingredients

25 mins
20 servings
  1. 75 gcold, unsalted butter (5 Tbsp)
  2. 25 gpowdered sugar (3 Tbsp)
  3. 35 gground almonds or walnuts (3 1/2 Tbsp)
  4. 100 gcake flour or weak flour (1 cup)
  5. More powdered sugar for dusting

Cooking Instructions

25 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

  2. 2

    Cut the butter into small cubes. Put butter, powdered sugar, nuts and flour in a food processor.

  3. 3

    Blend in the food processor until clumps start to form (about 1 minute). Be careful not to over mix or the dough will become sticky.

  4. 4

    Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into about 20 cookies about 2.5 cm (1 inch) round. Arrange them on the baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake in your preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. When they are just beginning to brown a little, they are finished.

  6. 6

    Let the cookies cool before dusting with powdered sugar. You can dust with a fine sieve or place the cookies along some sugar in a plastic baggie and shake. Plain is fine too!
