Made the cookies today and oh my gosh so very good! You don't miss anything with the nuts gone.
Ok, so I am moderately allergic to nuts and want to make the Russian Tea Cake cookies that are rolled in powdered sugar.
What could I replace the nuts with?
I was thinking dried fruit cut up. But may just make them as I am craving the cookie in powdered sugar itself not the nuts.

Skip the nuts. Adding fruit would add a completely different flavor. Do they make flavored extracts that are nut free? If so, you could sub that in for the vanilla. I find most of those extracts to be very fake tasting, but I also have bought one in 20+ years.

I'm allergic to nuts also. Sometimes I substitute sunflower seeds in place of nuts in recipes...and sometimes I just skip them. I'd probably just skip them for this.

I skipped nuts in my snowballs this year. Instead I added lemon juice and zest and I added some lemon zest to the powdered sugar I rolled them in. They still had that melt in your mouth aspect that I love and the lemon gave it a bit of a bite.

I am also making thumbprint cookies without the nuts. We always place a cherry in the middle.

Interesting - I just made these last night - I made half with nuts and half without. They taste the same to me so as others said, just leave the nuts out.

The nut flavors the dough in the oven, adding lemon or fruit is a completely different cookie. I have used almond extract for other things and think the flavor is ok, that might work for this cookie. |

He knows not to eat yellow snow, and me putting lemon in the snowballs just put him into fits of giggles, so he is calling them Huskyballs. You know from "Watch where those huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow." |
