These Russian tea cakes are also known as Mexican wedding cakes, butterballs and finally snowball cookies because of the icing sugar dusting they have. Whatever you call them they are a tasty treat to eat.

- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the icing sugar and the flour, then stir into the butter mixture until just blended.
- Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 2cm balls and place them 5cm apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in the extra icing sugar. I also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time!

Very easy to make and absolutely beautiful. Love the walnuts and the fact that the teacakes aren't too sweet as they are covered in icing sugar anyway - definitely will be making these all year round not just at Xmas - 28 Oct 2010
