My new Christmas cookies! Yummy and easy. Have eaten these Russian tea cakes long back at a friend’s place over a cup of coffee and since then I always wanted to bake them, recently I found this recipe from one of the cook books and felt like trying them immediately… they came out well, my one of the christmas time recipes which from now on got fixed. I made one batch for the kids and quickly regretted not doubling it to have more.They truely do melt in your mouth and they’re not too sweet. Very easy to make.
