1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar + 1/4-1/2 cup more for dusting
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
-
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
-
In a large bowl mix together butter, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla until well incorporated.
-
In a medium bowl, sift together flour and salt. Stir into butter mixture. Add walnuts and mix.
-
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on un-greased cookie sheets. They don’t spread so they don’t need to be spaced far apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Add another 1/4-1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar to a small bowl and then roll just out of the oven balls in sugar (don’t worry, they won’t fully coat, yet). Let cool and then roll again to get the full sugary coating.
