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.
