INGREDIENTS
| 1 | c | (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened |
| 2 1/4 | c | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 | ts | Salt |
| 2 | c | Sifted confectioner's sugar |
| 3/4 | c | (3 ounces) chopped walnuts |
| 1 | ts | Vanilla extract |
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position rack in center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. 2. In a large bowl combine the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioner's sugar; beat with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 1 minute. With a spoon, stir in the vanilla, flour, salt and walnuts to form a stiff dough. 3. Using about 2 teaspoons of dough for each cookie, shape half the dough by rolling between hands. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake about 12 minutes, until just pale golden on the bottom. 4. Meanwhile, sift 1/2 cup of the remaining confectioner's sugar into a 13 by-9-inch pan. As soon as cookies are removed from the oven, use a spatula to transfer them to the sugar, tossing them around to coat; let the cookies cool completely in the sugar and then sift 1/4 cup more sugar over them to coat. 5. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough, using a cool baking sheet to bake them and the remaining 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar, divided as before, to coat.
