Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ¼ cups sifted flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup chopped toasted walnuts or ¾ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • Powdered sugar (to roll baked cookies in)

Instruction

  • Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.
  • Whisk together flour and salt; add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped, toasted nuts.
  • Pat the dough into one big ball and chill for 20 minutes before rolling.
  • Cut into fourths, and then take small portions and roll, then place on the cookie sheet.
  • Form dough into 1 1/4" balls and place onto parchment-lined or ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown; remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. While cookies are still warm (but NOT hot) remove them from baking sheets and roll, a few at a time, in powdered sugar until evenly coated; cool cookies completely on wire racks.
  • Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.
