Russian Tea Balls II

These cookies taste like shortbread and snicker doodles rolled into one! They melt in your mouth and taste delicious.  I look forward to making these a lotmore!

Ingredients are as follows:

1/2 C powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 C butter (no substitutes), softened

1/2 C powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 C flour 

1 Tbsp. granulated sugar 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together the powdered sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Cream together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.

Add the cinnamon, salt and flour.  Mix until incorporated.

Take a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball.

Roll into the powdered sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 16-18 minutes; until golden brown around the edges.

I had some leftover powdered sugar mixture (and I hate to waste)so I stirred in a tablespoon of granulated sugar and rolled the warm cookies into it.

Take a bite and enjoy!
