Requested by my dad--one of his favorites :)
This recipe comes from a very old Betty Crocker cooky book. I've only used this recipe and it is slightly vague. I was told by my dad not to "deviate from the recipe" haha, so I did my best interpreting what certain ingredients were referring to. (I'm sure he wouldn't notice if there was a difference)
Ingredients:
-1 cup butter (although it doesn't specify if it is melted or softened, I melted it because I knew it would keep the cookies from spreading--which is what they are supposed to do)
-1/2 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
-1 tsp. vanilla
-2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
-1/4 tsp. salt
-3/4 c. finely chopped nuts (I use walnuts)
1. Mix butter, sugar and vanilla thoroughly. Stir flour and salt together; blend in. Mix in nuts.
Chill dough. (It doesn't specify how long to chill--I did it for about a 1/2 hour)
2. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll dough in 1" balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 8-10 minutes, or until set but not brown. While still warm, roll in confectioners' sugar. Cool. Roll in sugar again.
