Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened (226g))
  • 1 cup powdered sugar ((125g))
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour ((250g))
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch (optional, but recommended)
  • 1 cup nuts
  • Additional powdered sugar for rolling ((about 1 cup/125g))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer (or in a stand mixer), beat together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt until light, creamy, and well-combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch, then with mixer on low-speed gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture.
  • Stir until completely combined (mixture may seem dry and crumbly at first but should come together if you just keep mixing!).
  • Stir in nuts.
  • Scoop dough into Tablespoon-sized balls and roll between your palms to make round. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 1” apart.
  • Bake in 375F (190C) oven for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for at least 10 minutes then roll in powdered sugar. Enjoy!
