Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for coating)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Creaming the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Vanilla Essence: Stir in the vanilla extract.
Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually blend this into the butter mixture.
Adding Nuts: Fold in the finely chopped nuts, ensuring they’re evenly distributed in the dough.
Shaping: Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the tea balls are lightly golden. Remember, the tops will remain pale.
Cool and Coat: Once removed from the oven, allow the tea balls to cool slightly. While they’re still warm, roll each one in powdered sugar. Set them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Final Dusting: After they have cooled completely, give them one more roll or sprinkle of powdered sugar. This ensures they have a beautiful snowy appearance.
