Also known as butterballs, Russian tea cakes, and Swedish tea cakes, these rich, buttery cookies, filled with chopped nuts, are a traditional favorite during the Holidays.

  • Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes at 400°F.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and roll them in powdered sugar while still hot.
