How to make and store Russian Tea Cakes

To make your cookies nice and uniform sizes, or any of your cookies for that matter, I recommend using a scoop. This size scoop with make them approximately a tablespoon-size. Also, don’t skip the second rolling in powdered sugar. It will help to keep the cookies from sticking together and give them the added sweetness.

Store your cookies in an airtight container. They should remain fresh for 2-3 weeks.
