INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine walnuts, flour, and salt in a
medium bowl. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually
add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until mixture is fluffy. Beat in vanilla, then
reduce speed and add flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
2. Using your hands, shape dough, 1 tbsp. at a time, into small balls, then
place about 1" apart on nonstick baking sheets. Bake until cookies are
slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and allow
to cool for 5-10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place remaining 2 cups sugar on a large plate. Roll cookies,
while still warm, in sugar, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Once
cookies are completely cool, roll them again in sugar.
