Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Cookies and Coffee

I am no stranger to coffee. I have had my fair share...the good, the bad and the ugly. I am not prejudice. I will give a cup a try from anywhere. Let me prove this to you...

See! NO STRANGER to coffee. Of course, I have my preferences, but every coffee drinker does.

I also enjoy making coffee at home. In a regular coffee pot! Imagine that. Am I the last person on earth that does this?

I am going to show you an easy recipe I figured out when I used to sell Party Time Mixes. You can do this with a package of hot cocoa as well. Let me introduce to you...(drum roll), MUDSLIDE COFFEE!

You may be thinking, hmmmm...what type of cookie would go good with mudslide coffee? I've got you covered... Russian tea cakes, my friends, Russian tea cakes: 

Russian Tea Cake Cookie Recipe

• 1 Cup margarine, room temperature

• 1/2 Cup powdered sugar

• 1 Tsp. vanilla

• 2 1/4 Cup flour

• 1/4 Tsp. salt

• 3/4 Cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)*

• Powdered sugar for rolling

Preheat oven to 375*.

Prepare a cookie sheet with non-stick foil.

In a large bowl: mix margarine, sugar and vanilla. Mix in flour, salt and nuts until dough holds.

Form into 1 inch balls and place ½ to 1 inch apart on cookie sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes until set, not brown.

Immediately roll in powdered sugar. Allow to cool and roll in sugar again.

To make plain without nuts, just omit them from the recipe.

Have a lovely fall day!
