RUSSIAN TEA CAKES
There's no feeling quite as blissful as your first bite of one of these cookies. Whether you call them Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding cookies or snowballs, there's no denying that they're essential to bake during the Christmas season. A shortbread-like dough, studded with chopped nuts, bakes up to a texture that's beautifully sandy and tender, never dry or crumbling to bits. The classic finish for them is a roll through powdered sugar-just like dashing through the winter snow! Make this recipe and you'll be part of a legacy of bakers who have made Russian Tea Cakes one of the most anticipated treats of the season.

RUSSIAN TEA COOKIES
I got this recipe from a friend, and as always, I changed a few things. Her recipe called for melted butter, but I liked the texture better when it was softened, not melted. It's not "traditional," but when in Hawaii, you just gotta use macadamia nuts. But I like the a mix of pecans and walnuts the best if there are no mac nuts. These cookies are so simple to make and use basic ingredients and are a staple in my holiday goody containers. My nephews love to help me make these, because they know they get to make a mess when they roll them in powdered sugar. I like to make them bite-sized, since the big ones make a mess if you don't pop the whole thing in your mouth! The smallest cookie scooper I have is 25 mm, and they come out about less than half the size of a regular cookie scooper. The little guys bake for 7-8 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Add almond and vanilla extracts. Slowly add flour and salt to butter mixture, and mix until incorporated. Mix in pecans and walnuts.
- Use a cookie scooper to scoop the dough and then roll into balls (or use your hands to form 1" balls). Bake for 10-12 minutes. (These cookies barely brown, so if they don't look done, it's okay!).
- Roll in powdered sugar while still warm, and roll again when cool.

I love this tangy beverage on a cold winter's morning when I want something tasty and hot, but don't want coffee! It makes a great gift from your kitchen, too! If calories are your concern, use an artificially sweetened orange drink mix, eliminate the sugar and sweeten to taste with sugar substitute.

HOT SPICED TEA FOR THE HOLIDAYS
This is an old family favorite, handed down from my great-grandmother. The holidays officially begin with Christmas carols and my favorite hot spiced tea! Definitely a seasonal comfort beverage for me! I prefer to use fresh juices with pulp. The flavors are different. Canned pineapple in light syrup is best. Set the pineapple chunks aside for the rest of your holiday baking. Store leftovers in refrigerator and reheat as needed.

- Kompot. Everyone likes Kompot! It’s one of the most favorite sweet drinks for kids because after drinking all the glass of kompot, they can eat berries from the bottom of the glass.
- Kvass. One of the must-try national Russian drinks is kvass! The ancient drink is made from buckwheat, wheat, rye bread, and water. From first sight, kvass might taste like a variation of soda; indeed, it’s an excellent beverage during the summer.
- Medovukha. There are plenty of recipes on making medovukha, the traditional one is made from honey, sugar, yeast, and water, but your imagination only limits the recipe!
- Kissel. Once you see kissel, you might think about whether you should drink it or eat it because the consistency is very thick. Kissel was a trendy drink in the Soviet years, made from various berries and fruits, and cooked with starch.
- Vodka. If you never tried Russian vodka while visiting the country, you haven’t felt a real Russian atmosphere! Russians like to drink vodka for many occasions; it can be a commemoration or a huge celebration.
- Tea. Tea has a significant role in Russian culture. Due to the cold Northern climate, it became the most popular drink, and today is considered a national drink of Russia.
- Sbiten. Nicknamed as “Russian mulled wine,” Sbiten appeared thousands of years ago and was a trendy drink until tea made an appearance in Russia. It is a sweet beverage made from honey, ginger, cinnamon, citrus, cloves, and other species.
- Ryazhenka. Russia values fermented beverages, and one of them is Ryazhenka. It is a yogurt made from cow’s milk and with the help of lactic acid bacteria.
- Vzvar. Vzvar is a tasty Slavic drink like a kompot made from berries and fruits, sweetened with sugar or honey, and spiced with herbs. The drink can be thick and sometimes might look more like a pudding, not a beverage.
- White Russian. For the cocktail fans, the White Russian is a must-try. Most of the Russian cocktails have an interesting historical background, and this one is not exempt.

- To toast the almonds, put a cup of raw almonds (skins on) on a baking sheet and toast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, giving the pan a shake a couple of times during cooking. Let cool, then pulse in a food processor until they become evenly ground with no larger nut chunks left. Important: measure out 1 cup of the ground nuts for this recipe (you will probably have slightly more than that.)
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the almond extract. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the mixer to make sure you've got all the butter incorporated.
- Whisk the flour and salt together and add them, slowly to bowl with the mixer on low. Add in the nuts as well and mix until the dough starts to come together. Finish mixing with a large spoon, and then bring the dough together with your hands. Make sure there are no dry spots.
