We had to get a box of cookies out today, so last night I baked up a bunch of snickerdoodles & made a batch of Russian teacakes (one of my favorite cookies in the world!). I had no nuts except for unsalted pistachios in the shell. After I shelled them & toasted them I took a hunk of dough & dropped 3 pistachios in each ball. I was really tired & was whipping them out. They turned out to be the best batch I ever made & I have been making them since the t rex era ; )
