Russian Butter Cookies For Christmas

1. 1

   Beat butter and 1/2 cup confectioners sugar well in a mixer. Blend in remaining ingredients with a spoon or spatula or in a mixer on a low setting. Chill for several hours or overnight.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.

3. 3

   Shape or roll dough into 1-inch balls on cookie sheets. Bake at 400u00b0F for 10-12 minutes. Do not brown! Roll at once, while warm, in remaining confectioners sugar. Cool and then roll again in confectioners sugar.

4. 4

   Note: Cookies keep well. I imagine the dough can be frozen and then defrosted to be just chilled and then cooked.
