SPICY TEA CAKES

1 cup butter or margarine (soft)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 t vanilla
2-1/4 cup sifted flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t ginger

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla.  Add sifted dry ingredients and then the walnuts.  Roll into 1" balls.  Bake on ungreased baking sheet 10 to 12 minutes at 400.  When warm roll in powdered sugar.  When cool, roll in powdered sugar again.  Makes about 4 dozen.

This is a modification to Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Teacakes by adding in the extra spices.  It's good, but I like the original cookies better.
