Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup unsalted butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Beat butter in large bowl until light. Beat in 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Add flour and mix until just blended. Stir in nuts. Shape dough into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place on prepared sheets, spacing evenly. Bake about 20 minutes, or until firm and lightly colored.
  • Sift 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Transfer cookies to confectioners' sugar while still warm and roll gently to coat. Immediately transfer cookies to plastic bag and seal (this makes the cookies sweat and form an icing). Let stand 5 minutes in the bag. Transfer to rack and cool.
