Gluten Free Russian Wedding Cookies Aka Russian Nut Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat over to 400 degrees. Cream butter and sugar together in food processor. While processing, add in vanilla and salt. Slowly add flour and nuts, pulse blending in between additions, until a dough is formed (a little less or more flour may be necessary depending on your flour mix, humidity, etc.). Dough should be very slightly sticky. Hand roll bits of dough into 1.5 inch diameter balls and layout on cookie sheets. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Once they are cool enough to handle comfortably (but still warm), roll them in a bowl of confectioner's sugar. Then place on a plate to cool, completely. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients thoroughly (if you find it easier to cream the sugar and butter first go ahead but it isn't necessary if you don't want to take the extra step).
• Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for around 8 minutes (they burn easily) on middle rack at 400 degrees until set but not brown.
• While warm, roll in confectioner's sugar. Let cool, and roll in sugar again.

• In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. I also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time.
