Creator Notes

This recipe is equal to the Christmas tea cookies rolled into powdered sugar which will most most likely be called by some Mexican Marriage ceremony Truffles, Russian Tea Cookies, and so forth.  But the stand-apart quality of these cookies lies in an unusual baking method that imparts a burnt sugar flavor to the cookies and makes them divinely crunchy!  I variety them mostly at some point soon of the Christmas season even though my very finicky 18 yr old could perchance expend all of them yr round.  Each bite is so DELICIOUS in a buttery, crunchy, candy-licious manner. Peep out for the powdered sugar that could perchance furthermore fall in every single place you. O) —Regine
