Time 1h

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add egg, vanilla, baking powder, 4 teaspoons confectioners' sugar and walnuts. Add half the flour, and mix well.
  • Turn dough onto a board or counter. Knead in the remaining flour until the mixture is smooth and no longer sticky. Divide dough into quarters, and roll one-quarter into a log about an inch in diameter. Cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Put the pieces on a lightly greased cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Bake cookies 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Cool, and then dust generously with confectioners' sugar.
