Russian Tea Balls

Whether you call them Russian Tea Balls or Snow Balls, they are delicious and are my favorite cookie to make for the holiday season. They just taste so good and are festive; they'll be one I make for years to come. The recipe I use is from my grandma. 

Russian Tea Balls

Mix together:
1 cup soften butter
1/2 cup sifted confectioners powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Sift together and then stir in with butter mixture:
2 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt

Mix in:
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Shape into a loaf and chill for 3-4 hrs or overnight. 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll into 1 inch balls. Bake on non-greased sheet until firm but not brown for about 10 - 12 minutes. While still warm roll in confections sugar. Cool and roll in the confectioners sugar again. Devour!!!
