Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • Additional powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients to make the process smoother.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops remain pale. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  5. While still warm, roll the cookies in additional powdered sugar. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack, and dust with more powdered sugar if desired.
