i know the cookies you're talking about Av...but don't they call 'em BROWNIES???? heh.

Oh, they don't have to be Brownies. In fact, as long as you heat it, almost anything works. Just finished the last batch of cherry & almond chocolate fudge actually. Anything works though, even sugar-cookies.

Where's the recipe for your wife's Russian Tea Cookies, Sarge????

C'mon, c'mon!

well, when I was "young" (heh), my Mom, who was on a "budget" (heh), used to make us something that was awesome, but I don't know what they're called: saltines on a baking sheet, put a marshmallow on each one, bake to golden brown, put top cracker on, and eat. mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

ohman!!! i need the recipe for that cherry and almond chocolate fudge please!!!

Russian Tea Cakes:
(These are also known as wedding cookies).

1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered Sugar

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix margarine, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla. Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreesed cookie sheet. Bake until set but not brown.
(Now, most recipes will tell you to immediately roll your cookies while warm in powdered sugar. DO NOT do this - even though the coating adheres well to warm cookies, the sugar often tastes pasty because it has melted a bit. )
Wait until cookies have cooled, then roll them in a bowl of powdered sugar and shake off excess. Don't worry if the coating is spotty in places, just go ahead and store them in an airtight container.
When you are ready to serve them, roll them in the powdered sugar again to cover any bare spots.
Perfecto!
