Cinnamon Tea Cakes
December 15th, 2010
I made these cookies for Eid Al-Adha, they are similar to cherry tea cakes but the flavor combination here is cinnamon and walnuts (or pecans) – very tasty :)
Let’s make Cinnamon Tea Cakes:
Heat oven to 325°F (163 °C).
1, 2. In large bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy.
3, 4. Add flour, walnuts, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt; mix well.
5, 6, 7. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 325°F (163 °C) for 14 to 16 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Cool 3 minutes or until slightly cooled.
8. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix coating ingredients. Roll warm cookies in coating. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled. Re-roll cookies in coating.

Notes and Tips
I halved the recipe, and got more than 40 cookies (my cookies are small in size).
I used pecan instead of walnuts.
I added more cinnamon to the dough than recommended (remember that I halved the recipe, so cinnamon should be 1/4 tsp but I added about 1/2 tsp), but that depends on your likeness.
Instead of shaping the dough into 1 inch ball, I shaped the dough into balls and made each ball equals to 4 grams, and that’s much better to get equal sizes.
I didn’t do the last step of coating as suggested. I prepared the coating by mixing powdered sugar and cinnamon and dusted the cookies before serving them only.
Betty Crocker Tips:
Kitchen Tip: Use a small or mini-food processor to grind the nuts. Pulse the nuts until they are fine pieces, but do not over-process them to a powder.
Storage Tip: Store cooled cookies at room temperature in an airtight container, or freeze them for up to three months. To freshen thawed cookies, roll them in additional cinnamon-sugar.
How cute, they’re perfect with a cup of tea!
Wow! They look so cute and lovely.
These look very soft and melt in the mouth kind. Mouthwatering & fragrant cakes :)
So flaky and buttery! Those cookies are made for me (I’m a cinnamon lover).
Cheers,
