1/2 cup confectioner's sugar plus 1 cup for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped almonds or pecans
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Cream butter in a mixing bowl.
Gradually add sugar (1/2 cup) and salt.
Continue creaming until light and fluffy.
Add nuts and vanilla extract.
Blend in flour gradually. Mix thoroughly.
Shape into teaspoonful balls.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 325° F. for 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle some of the confectioner's sugar over cookies while still on the sheet. Cool before removing from cookie sheet.
Place some confectioner's sugar in a Ziploc bag and place some of the cookies inside. Gently shake well so the sugar completely coats the cookies.
I have heard these taste best when they sit for a couple of days. We never seem to have any left that long. Maybe I will try some and hide them away...yeah right!
