Grandma Eliason’s Tea Balls

Liam’s favorite cookie! They are simple, only take a few ingredients, and are quick to bake in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • (optional) 3/4 cup crushed walnuts, pecans or pistachios

Directions

  1. Cream together butter, vanilla and powdered sugar in a stand mixer.
  2. Slowly mix in the flour and salt until combined.
  3. If you are using nuts, stir them in now.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to make 1 inch balls, and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes.
  6. While still warm, roll in more powdered sugar.
