Make Russian Tea Biscuits | Cleveland's Famous Raspberry Walnut Shortcakes
Another recipe from my archives of the most delicious things in the world....this fantastic pastry is like a shortbread, biscuit, a scone, a rugelach, a cookie. Oh but so much better better than Scones, buttery dough that's never dry. Makes little Rugelach like a teaser, these are 4 times their size. Like a Linzer cookie but more raspberry.
In all my travels this is one of a few pastries I've only found in Cleveland Ohio USA bakeries. In that city of Balkanized immigrant communities of the early 1900s, raspberries grow wild and are as popular as in parts of Russia, whose immigrants from that era originated this treat. Although they share the name, they are not anything like the small round powdered sugar coated Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cakes balls popular in many cultures. Russian Tea Biscuits are perfect with coffee or tea and sweet enough for dessert. Just as good dairy-free as with butter (well almost). They are much easier to make than the multi-step-multi-day filo type doughs found in Danish pastries and Strudel, but hit the same pleasure spots! Master this relatively simple process and your friends, relatives and children will talk about them for their entire lives. Here's the recipe:

Russian Tea Cakes
These cookies usually show up at Christmas time, but they are so easy and so tasty, they deserve to be served year-round.
Russian Tea Cakes
1 cup butter, very soft
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup chopped nuts
2¼ cups all purpose flour
additional powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cream the butter and powdered sugar. Add vanilla and salt, creaming to combine. Add the nuts and mix to combine. Add the flour, a cup at a time mixing to combine, but do not overmix.
Using a 2 teaspoon disher (#60, found on the sweep arm), scoop cookies onto a parchment covered baking sheet. Lightly roll cookies into a ball. Place cookies about an inch apart on the sheet—they don’t spread when baking. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be set, but not brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes. Coat the hot cookies in powdered sugar. Let the coated cookies sit until completely cool and coat again, with a second layer of powdered sugar.
