1 cup unsalted butter softened(you can also use shortening, or margarine)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
powdered sugar
heat oven to 400, mix all ingredients until dough holds together.
shape into 1 inch balls, bake on ungreased cookie sheet until set, not brown
about 10-12 minutes
roll in powdered sugar . makes about 4 dozen cookies.
hope this helps

No one in their right mind in Russia would ever bother cooking anything even half as complicated as that. It's either something primitive like scrambled eggs, or something very complicated. We're a country of the extreme.
