The Russian (Cookies) Are Coming!

19/6/2011

I've always loved the Russian Snowballs (Tea Cakes to some) from The Russian Cookie House. Unfortunately, A's not a sweet-tooth. He likes it sans the powdered sugar coating. And dusting them off is more difficult than trying to out the crumbs from pan de sal.

Wanting to avoid the tidious task of having to dust off the powdered sugar individually, I went online in search of a basic recipe. After reviewing the recipe ingredients and steps, I've decided to go with this one from Betty Crocker. Only thing I won't be doing here is rolling off the cookies in powdered sugar. Though I did a little experimenting by adding some cocoa powder on some of the cookie dough.

After the cookies have been baked, I tried to taste it. A would like it for sure, but I need to satisfy my sugar cravings. So, I thought of using chocolate ganache. Who do I turn to for the recipe?  Recipe Girl, of course! And as expected, I found what I was looking for here. I just drizzled the ganache over some of the cookies as some were left ganache-free for A.

Who says you can't bake a cookie and eat it too? Oh right, that was for a cake. And yes, I find dusting off the powdered sugar from a Russian Snowball  more tedious than having to make one  =)
