Preparation

Step 1

Combine butter & powdered sugar in large bowl. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Add egg; continue beating until combined. Reduce speed to low; add flour & salt. Beat until well mixed. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hr).

Heat oven to 350°F. Placed chopped nuts in small bowl. Shape dough into ½ inch balls. Roll each in nuts. Place one inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with bottom of glass dipped in sugar.

Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack. Cool completely.

Combine powdered sugar, butter, vanilla & enough milk for desired spreading consistency in small bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped nuts.

Spread bottoms of half of cookies with scant teaspoonful filling. Top with remaining cookies, bottom-side down.
