DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Preheat oven to 350° F. In a
medium bowl combine flour, 2/3 cup
of the sugar, the nuts, and salt. Stir
in vanilla.
|
|
|
|
2:
Work the butter into the mixture
until it forms a cohesive ball.
|
|
|
|
3:
For each cookie pinch off about
1 1/2 tablespoons dough and form
it into a ball, using either your hands
or two teaspoons. Shape about 1 1/2
tablespoons dough into a ball. Place
balls on a greased baking sheet and
flatten them slightly with a
spoon. Bake until lightly browned,
about 30 minutes.
|
|
|
|
4:
Allow the cookies to cool on a wire
rack. Dust them generously with
the remaining confectioners' sugar.
