I would love for people to share their recipes for this type of cookie, pretty please!

Do you have to... never mind, I'll wait for recipes, THEN start asking question, lol.

This will be our third year making Open Original Shared Link. It tastes just like the gluten version. So yummy.

My recipe is similar to Cruelshoes'.

Russian Tea Cakes (Adapted from Betty Crocker's Cookbook)

1 C Butter or margarine, softened (but not melted)

1/2 C Powdered sugar

1 tsp. Vanilla

2 C + 2 Tbs. gluten-free flour (I use brown rice, potato starch and tapioca starch)

1 Tbs. xanthan gum (only use 1 tsp. if there's already xanthan gum in the flour mix)

1/4 tsp. salt ONLY if using unsalted butter

3/4 C chopped nuts

Powdered sugar

Heat oven to 400. Mix butter, 1/2 C powdered sugar and vanilla. Sift flour, xanthan gum, egg replacer and salt (if using) together 3 times. Stir flour mixture and nuts into butter mixture until dough holds together. Shape into 1" balls and place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until set, but not brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly, roll in powdered sugar. DO THIS VERY CAREFULLY! Cool completely and then roll again in powdered sugar. Makes about 4 dozen.
