I have three very favorite treats during the Christmas / New Year's holiday season. They are Russian teacakes (shown in the pic), English toffee, and Fantasy Fudge!
I Think that the Russian Tea Cakes are the same recipe for what my Aunt called, "Sweetish Squares," and hers were square shaped, also coated with powdered sugar.
YUMM!!
I tried a new holiday recipe this year which will be a forever favorite, Stollen. I didn't add any marzipan, and instead of citron I added 1/3 cup marmalade. We used mostly dried apricots, candied ginger and raisins for dry fruits. I did the gluten free version, still really good. Rising with yeast is a must. Very addictive!
