The TCK Cookie

We’ve heard them called Swedish Wedding Cookies, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Snowballs, and even Russian Tea Cakes. Not only can the simple ingredients be found in any country, but is there anything more "TCK" than a cookie that doesn't know where it's from?? Here’s how to make them: 

TCK COOKIES 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup softened butter

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice

  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar + a little extra

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 Tbsp water

Combine all ingredients in one bowl. Stir till dough forms a crumbly texture. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F (177 C) for 8-9 minutes. Immediately roll in confectioners sugar and let cool. Or eat piping hot and burn the roof of your mouth but the warm buttery, gooeyness makes it 100% worth it!
