INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar | 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup chopped walnuts 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration |
DIRECTIONS:
1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). |
2. | In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. |
3. | Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. I also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time. |
