This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas cookies! It's not Christmas without Russian Tea Cakes. You might know this cookie by another name, but this is the recipe that our family has always used from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.

My MIL always makes these for Christmas. I'll be checking out your other Christmas cookie recipes because I've got to get baking this week!
I may never have experienced Christmas then! Lol! Actually, I think I might have had these. Maybe . . . Our holiday traditions revolve around candy more than cookies. Grandma's fudge, Mom's haystacks, our chocolate Rice Krispy bars. Some years my mom makes sugar cookies either filled or decorated with icing.
