Preparation
Step 1
1.Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.
2.Whisk together flour and salt; add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped nuts.
3.Chill dough if it seems too soft.
4.Form dough into 1 1/4" balls and place onto parchment-lined or ungreased baking sheets.
5.Bake at 400° for 10-12 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.
6.Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.
