Notes: My mom, Susie, makes these for Christmas each year and my family loves these cookies. She came up with the idea to put the Chocolate Hershey kiss inside the cookie. They are so good to eat warm. We have many fond memories of making these cookies together. She usually makes a double batch or more because, they go quick.
There’s no feeling quite as blissful as your first bite of one of these cookies. They’re essential to bake during the Christmas season. A shortbread-like dough, complimented with chopped nuts, bakes up to a texture that’s beautifully airy and tender. 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 holiday season. Biting into one of these cookies makes me smile with fond holiday memories.
