Excellent recipe! Love the maple kiss but have not ever baked at 300 degrees for 30-35 mins. I’ve made these favorites for years with a 350 degree oven and shorter cooking time. Have never rolled in sugar twice but makes sense and love the pecan on top. Walnuts are delicious also! Thanks!!!

Yippee! So excited to win the scarf. Can’t wait to read the story behind the company too. Thanks so much! Btw, the Russian Tea Cakes look delicious. I have to steer away from nuts due to one of my daughters having a severe allergy to them. We love to make devil’s food cake cookies with a Rolo tucked inside and sprinkled with sugar. They disappear fast! Merry Christmas everyone!

Two of my favorite cookies are butter-balls (which are pretty similar to these cookies you made), and shortbread….yummy!!! I haven’t made either in a few years. Maybe next year. I love all the cookies that are out there during this time of year.

I say the same thing about these cookies (oh, by the way – I’ll be knocking on your door. ha)

Russian Teacakes or Snowballs or whatever they’re called are certainly a must. I will say – the maple sounds yummy (different) – we add almond extract sometimes – and yours even look different than mine – I guess because I don’t add an additional nut on top.

2 favorites: Chocolate Icebox Cookies and Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without them! And thanks for your recipe…I may add them into the mix for next year.
