Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Soften your butter thoroughly. You don’t want any hard clumps.

Step 3

Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla thoroughly. Add flour, salt and chopped nuts. Stir until mixture is uniform.

Step 4

Roll into one inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet (I like to line it with parchment for easy clean up).

Step 5

Bake 10 minutes, or until set but not browned. (Err on the side of underbaking. 10 minutes is perfect for my oven. If you overbake, your cookies will end up crumbly and dried out.

Step 6

While the cookies are still warm, roll in additional powdered sugar. Let them cool completely and then roll again.

Step 7

Store in an airtight container.
