Russian Tea Cookies

Last night I had a craving for cookies. I went to the kitchen to get my ingredients ready for good old chocolate chip cookies (you know, the way your mother made them and you can never get it just right like hers?). Browsing my ingredients I realize I am completely out of brown sugar and eggs. Drat! 
That is when I stumbled upon this recipe. Never had I made Russian tea cookies or tasted them. Well let's give it a whirl! 6 ingredients and 30 minutes later I was biting into these delightful airy treats! 
One secret I must admit is they are not as sweet as I had hoped. They are more of a coffee or tea (hence the name) cookie. Delicious and hopefully you get the chance to make them!
