Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325°. Combine sugar, butter, and vanilla in a bowl and beat on medium speed of hand mixer until smooth and evenly combined. Add flour, nuts, and salt, and beat until just combined.

Using a teaspoon, portion and shape dough into balls, and place 2" apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets; bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes.

Place warm cookies in a bowl of confectioners' sugar and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
