RUSSIAN TEA CAKES I
This is a family recipe that's been made at Christmas time by at least 4 generations. This year will be the first for number 5!!! 'Bubba' brought it with her when she came from Lithuania. I pass it on in the true spirit of this season!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.

CHEF JOHN'S RUSSIAN TEA CAKES
As the old joke goes, these Russian tea cakes might not be Russian, but at least they're not cakes. No one knows exactly how these came to be known as Russian tea cakes but, nevertheless, they are quite delicious.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange rack in center position of oven.
- Place butter, 1/3 cup packed powdered sugar, walnuts, salt, and vanilla in a bowl. Top with the flour. Mix with your clean hands until the dough starts to clump up. Keep mixing by hand until all the flour and clumps of butter are evenly mixed into the dough and it can be easily formed into balls.
- Scoop out dough and roll by hand into uniformly round balls, just slightly larger than 1 inch. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 15 to 25 minutes depending on the size of the cookies.
- Let cool exactly 5 minutes then roll in remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar. Let cookies cool completely and toss them again in the confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Note: the key to making this cake batter smooth is incorporating the almond paste completely before the eggs are added; the success of the glaze-a pretty crystallized look and a proper set-requires 2 things, the glaze must be made just before it is brushed on the cake, and the cake must be warm from the oven so the sugar and juices can penetrate it properly and form crystals.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat oven to 350°.
- Lightly butter and flour an 8 ½ inch tube pan OR a 9x5 inch loaf pan, knocking out the excess flour.
- Make the cake: sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt twice.
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs and vanilla; whisk just to combine.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the almond paste on low speed until it breaks up.
- This can take up to a minute, depending on how soft and warm it is.
- Slowly add the sugar in a steady stream, beating until incorporated.
- If you add the sugar too quickly, the paste won't break up as well.
- Cut butter into 1 tablespoon pieces.
- Continue on low speed while adding the butter, a tablespoon at a time, for about 1 minute.
- Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Then turn on the mixer to medium speed; beat until mixture is light in color and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- With the mixer still on medium, add the eggs in a very slow, steady stream and mix until incorporated.
- Stop the mixer and again scrape down the sides; resume mixer at medium speed and mix for another 30 seconds.
- Add in the citrus zest and mix in with a wooden spoon.
- Finally, add the flour mixture in batches, stirring after each addition until incorporated.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl one last time; spoon batter into prepared pan; smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
- Bake 45-50 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly touched and a pick comes out clean; let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the lemon and orange juices and sugar in a small bowl.
- Place the wire rack holding the cake over a sheet of waxed paper or foil to catch any drips; invert the cake onto the rack.
- Brush the entire warm cake with the glaze, then let the cake cool completely on the rack (the cake breaks apart easily when warm, so don't attempt to move it).
- When the cake is cool, transfer it to a serving plate; serve at room temperature.

RUSSIAN TEA CAKES
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.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, 2/3 cup sugar, and lemon and lime zests on medium speed until light and creamy (not fluffy).

- With a toothpick, poke holes all over tops of warm tea cakes in pan. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon lemon syrup over each cake. Let cakes cool slightly in pan; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Spoon lemon slices on top if desired.
