The kitchen table has looked like this for some time now. Tins, waiting to be filled. The most time consuming of them all--the Russian Teacakes are finished. .
The other day I said to Gilmore Girl, "The first tin is filled with Russian Teacakes and the person who gets here first gets it."
There was a long pause on the phone and then she said, "That's not fair! The Brown Dot lives only eight minutes away!"
Today I told Her Excellency of Mousehole that the Russian Teacakes were finished and she said, "Don't count on it!" I fainted dead away.
Recipe here. Be warned, once you taste them and your kids taste them they will become a tradition and they are time consuming...just like children, and just like children, they are worth it.

These cakes look and sound delicious. I like your instructional images.
did you know you have a kid in Georgia named Peach? those look delish!!!!!!!!
Yummy!! They remind me of a recipe I have called Sandies. I love the powered sugar part.
Dear Peach,
Hahahahahaahahahahahaha!
Love,
Mom
They look yummy! I have been thinking about making some cookies that seem a little similar:
Jewish Shortbread
1/2 lb soft butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup finely ground nuts
1 tsp vanilla
1 2/3 cups flour
pinch of salt
1/2 cup white sugar
4 tsp cinnamon
Mix first 6 ingredients together, beat well. Shape into crescents and place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 15 to 20 min. While still warm coat with sugar and cinnamon.
But they too are really time consuming and I don't think I am as good as mother as you...and since I am losing the battle of the bulge I am thinking that maybe I don't need to make any cookies! Especially since it is supposed to go down to -37 and that is almost the same for you in farenheight!
So I am not walking even though I said I would.
Yummy! They do look delicious! Thank you very much for all your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate them :)
They look really tasty, may have to try the recipe out
still laughing at the dancing and prancing tree idea ;)
You are truly amazing! I can't even get my house cleaned---and am struggling to get all the shopping done this year...you inspire me!
