Gluten Free Russian Tea Cakes
One of my favorite, childhood holiday memories is making Russian Tea Cakes with my Nana! We would use her KitchenAid Mixer that was probably 30+ years old but in perfect condition. We would help her measure, mix, and scoop, and not so patiently wait to get our little hands on the sugar covered cakes.
My version -- Gluten-Free Russian Tea Cakes -- perfect for the holidays or anytime you want a simple cookie to go with your hot beverage of choice. With their rich, buttery texture, these cookies are naturally festive and crowd-pleasing. Whether you’re baking for Christmas cookie exchanges, gifting neighbors, or craving that nostalgic flavor, this gluten-free twist on a beloved favorite delivers all the cozy sweetness you remember!
