Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup Chopped Nuts - Either walnuts or pecans work great
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar until smooth with a hand held mixer or a stand up mixer. Then add in the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Turn the speed down to a low setting and slowly add in the flour and the salt until just combined (be careful not to overman).
- Then stir in the chopped nuts by hand.
- Then roll the cookie dough into balls approximately 1 tablespoon in size.
- Place the balls on the baking sheets and bake for 7-10 minutes until the cookies are slightly brown on the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool enough for you to be able to handle them. Place the remaining powdered sugar in a bowl and roll the cookies in the powdered sugar until well coated.
- Then place the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
- After the cookies have cooled, roll them 1 more time in the powdered sugar. Then they are ready to enjoy!
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months.
