Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Stir in the finely chopped nuts.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  6. While still warm, roll the cookies in the remaining powdered sugar. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Roll in powdered sugar again before serving, if desired.
