Russian Tea Cakes

By PetsNPosey

Buttery, nutty, and bite sized delights. You may know these cookies by another name...Mexican Wedding Cakes. Easy to make, good for cookie swaps, freezes well, and can even get the family to help. Have been making these since I was a little girl.

• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
