The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into 1" balls, and roll each in the sugar mixture. Arrange 1" apart on greased baking sheets. Use a decorative cookie stamp or bottom of a glass to flatten balls slightly. Bake 13 to 16 minutes, or until deep golden brown on the bottom.

reviews & comments
Several things are wrong with this recipe: No amt of sugar is given to add to the spices that the cookies are rolled in before baking. 350 degrees is too hot. The cookies burn way before the suggested minimum time. Leave more than 1" beween cookies on the sheet. They run together. Make the suggestion to cool the cookies on the sheet for 1 minute before attempting to remove them. I wasted a lot of good ingredients because of these reasons.

Directions said to roll cookies in 'sugar' mixture before putting them in the oven BUT sugar was mentioned ONLY once and it went INTO the cookies. I used 'powdered' sugar and increased the 'spices' to 1/2 tsp. each.
